At least that pelican thinks so. Beautiful shot Sniper!
That’s damn great!
And those blue skies sure look good to those of us being inundated by snow at the moment!
A wonderful bird is a pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week;
But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
* “The Pelican” (1910) by Dixon Lanire Merrith
Beautiful!
I love pelicans. Several years back, I was floating on an inflatable raft off the coast of Jekyll Island, GA. Eyes closed, enjoying the sun, barely awake. At one point, even with my eyes closed, I noticed that several unknown somethings were passing over me, casting shadows. I opened my eyes just in time to see the first of six or seven pelicans dive-bombing a school of shrimp into which I had drifted. The birds completely ignored me, just kept diving after shrimp. The closest came within six feet of me.
Kinda scary, but incredibly cool.
