This bird

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 9 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Pelicans are amazing birds. I can never see too many pelicans. I can never photograph them enough. This one bird is quite focused on its task of catching fish as it floats atop the water.

I love pelicans. They are awesome birds. I love when they glider in a group just about skimming the water.

@Laurie: It's like they are flying in formation -- so graceful in the air.

Great shot...I tried to get some shots at the beach of them, but they never stayed still long enough or even close enough!

Very nice animal shot - I know how tough they are to get, unless you go to the zoo. :)

Celialee from Kyoto, Japan

Awesome bird portrait! I love that the background is blue because of the water - made the pelican stood out more.
