Pelicans

Hi. Does anyone have photos of pelicans to share? This photo of a Brown Pelican was taken on a salt water canal in Florida.

Very nice pic bsharf !

Nice pic, our pelicans are gone. We get white ones in the summer.

Looks like the little...ummm...big guy is posing for you. How cute.

Most people think of pelicans as shorebirds. But, we have them here in Arkansas during the late summer and winter. I will have to make a trip to the river or bigger lake and see if I can get a picture or two.

Recently, I took a few photos of White Pelicans at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge on the eastern shore of Maryland.
They were quite some distance from me but my 500mm lens brought them much closer. Their presence here is somewhat rare.

A second photo .....

Nice photos, are they rare there? They say they aren't here either, but I see them every year. So easy to pick out with how they fly/coast.

here are some of mine. American White Pelican a winter migrant althought I did spot about 50 this summer and reported it along with a bad picture as proof

Great photos everyone!!! This is my favorite 'FL type' bird to see when DH and I travel to FL for vacation! We went to the Suncoast Seabird Santuary on the Gulf coast and got these photos last January.

An area with mixed birds in it (including Brown Pelicans). Here is one trying to sleep or rest......

This pic may be the same area of mixed birds. Here is another Brown Pelican sitting under the tree.......

Here is the original pic of the first photo I posted to show the different areas.

Wow: I asked for folks to share their photos, and I was overwhelmed. Great shots. I especially like seeing the birds on the man-made nesting platforms.

This is the only decent Pelican shot I have, mainly because I spend very little time near the water.

Nice pics everyone!

In the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of FL last January. I got this photo of a Brown Pelican floating.

Seems hard to avoid the water in melbourne. You sure do get alot of nice birds in your yard.

Well I sure don't have any pelican pictures to share. I know I don't have those in my area, but wish I did. Very nice pictures everyone !
