    I am just so fascinated with Pelicans. Great pose Jan. Love the blue sky too. I sure wish we had some!
    Light snow today!

    I love Pelicans, but rarely manage to get close enough to one to take a photo! I love that first close up you've posted!

    He is, indeed, a magnificent specimen. I hope he warms up and dries out quickly. He almost looks as though he has been plastered down with an oil.

    Wonderful shot of a hard to capture bird!

    Such a beautiful blue palette going from light to more intense hue - the pelican is handsome, too.

    I always get a kick out of your bird shots. You have so many varieties that we don't have here in Ontario.

    Amazing blue blue skies enhanced by dormant feathers and wings!
