I don't see many Pelicans in Wisconsin, but I had a lot of fun watching them in Florida! I had never seen one in a tree. Amazing!
The fishermen would share things with them. I bet they could eat a whole pizza in one gulp!
He looks like he's smiling. :0)
We camped in the Keys and these guys were at our campground. So I had plenty of time to watch them.
These are just the coolest birds! Love watching them too!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend Lisa!!
I loved watching them fly. They look like pteradactyls in flight.
ReplyDeleteLove brown pelicans and the Fl. Keys. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the Pelicans. They are cool looking birds and great to watch!
ReplyDeleteThey look like flirty birds ... very cool shots!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great looking bird and your photos are excellent :)
ReplyDeleteawesome bird!
ReplyDeleteI always find pelicans the most amazing birds. Their bills are so big that they don't look as though they should be able to fly (front heavy)! They're always a treat for me to see when we're over there.
ReplyDeleteThey are so special and the browns were on their way to being endangered and then made a comeback. Unfortunately with the oil spill, they may have problems again as some of their nesting grounds have been inundated with oil. They are one of my favorites. When we lived on Galveston Island, I looked forward each day to seeing at least one brown Pelican. Lots of whites, but the rare brown was a real treat.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful bird is the Pelican.
ReplyDeleteHis beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?
I would attribute this to an author but it appears under various names, most of them Anon.
Your beautiful photos are good to look at after seeing many sad pictures of brown pelicans coated with sludge from the BP disaster.
I live on the Gulf Coast, and I must say.....I've never EVER seen a pelican land in a tree. Wow...these were a special treat for me.
ReplyDeleteMy CC---She's not a NINJA turtle!! I do hope you can stop by to visit with me.
Have a great weekend.
watching them eat is amazing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! My favorites are the one where the pelican is eating and where it is sitting all fat and happy, asleep in the tree.
ReplyDeletenever seen other kinds of pelicans so this was a double joy for me, thanks for showing those great shots!
ReplyDeleteVery great shots of pelican! You are very talented in photography.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Your bird photos never cease to amaze me! And yes, he does look like he is smiling...
ReplyDeleteI love pelicans too. Surprisingly we are on their flight path. They fly north to nest and stop here on the way to and from. Well - not right at the Big Blue Barn - but on a lake about 20 minutes away. I've also seen them paddling along in the sloughs around here. It always excites me!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pelicans! You've got some fantastic shots of them, here! :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat series shots. What was it eating in the second shot?
ReplyDeleteWow ... that is freaky when they eat!
