Ignore the horizon. An opportunistic gang of hungry pelicans begins to flock in the water and sky around where the hunting dolphins (see my last two posts) are swimming; their aim is to catch the fish stirred up by the dolphins (before the dolphins do). Anna Maria Island, 1/25/08. Close to home for me.
@Lorraine: U R welcome!
@Man With 101 Names: Ha-ha!
@Wolfgang Prigge: This was only one squadron -- there were other little clusters of them all around, wherever the dolphins went.
@Craiger: They were wheeling around the sky and water almost like gulls.
@Judy: Ha-ha! This pic definitely suffers from "tilticus horizonticus" or some such thing. But the pic was of the pelicans, and they were moving quickly and my goal was to try to keep them level in the scene.
@amy: Can't stop looking? Well that nice compliment really makes my day! Thanks amy.
@DaveB: Maybe so... but thanks. You might want to come down here sometime and take a shot at 'em yourself. ;o)
@Wolfgang Prigge: What a really GREAT bunch of shots; I like your FAF shot and all the rest.
