White Pelican Morning

[Second Hand Pat]

I returned to Viera Wetlands with some local camera club members and the place was full of white pelicans. Since I have not shot white pelicans before I had a hay day. :D This guys was in the morning fog.

This is the a raft of pelicans and they were busy fishing. This image is the Ultimate Butt shot.

Took this shot out the opposite window and think I clipped the door on the bottom hence the darker bottom edge.

These guys were fishing but apparently they were having an argument about where to fish.

Looks great Pat! Love those white pelicans, I'd love to shoot some someday. All we seem to have are the browns. The water in the first pic looks SO glassy, wow.

It was glassy Matt. I wish I had caught the full reflection of the bird in that first shot. It was also a bit foggy making for a magical moment. We only get the white pelicans in the winter time.
