Very crisp and clear and you've caught them with outspread wings, so very nicely done!

I never see a pelican without thinking they are the most unlikely creature. These shots just confirm that thought. Look how they are trying to control large beak, webbed feet and wings. These shots are just priceless. Thanks for the smile!

Very Very Nice Michael! Very Crisp and Clear. I wish we had a few Pelicans around here, I'm on the ocean, but I have not seen any yet here in South Korea.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael
