That's a great shot.

What a very fun shot, Vern! His open mouth almost gives him a "Jimmy Durante" looking nose! LOL They sure have a huge wingspan, don't they!

I have always loved the Brown Pelicans, but there are none here in Colorado. I used to see so many in Florida.

Good catch, Vern....and I agree with Debbie.

The wonderful water lines are as intriging as the bird.

Wonderful shot, Vern. You can almost see its stomach contents.

Great catch! Is this a Brown Pelican? They just came off the endangered species list, didn't they?
