Featured in Pelicans – May 7, 2009 / Third place in “This Is The Funniest Challenge” in Image Writing – February 22, 2009 / Featured in Image Writing – February 11, 2009 Pelicans at Lockport, Manitoba on the Red River. I get the biggest kick (no pun intended) out of watching these funny birds and their antics on the water. I happened to catch this guy at just the right time as he appeared to be searching for dinner for himself and another!

The photos were taken on March 12, 2008, at the Garden for Zoological research, Tel-Aviv University.

The Mad Conductor by Kerri Gallagher

In this shot although this pelican in about to dive under water for a fish it strikes me as a Orchestra Conductor directing a rather intense piece of music. Taken on the Bow River in Calgary yes the prairies of Alberta they visit us every summer. / Nikon D300 / Nikkor 18-200mm / ISO 200 135mm F 5.6 1/500sec

About This Group

This group is dedicated to the beautiful and unusual Pelicans of the world. So many people love them and they love to strike a pose, we thought it was about time they had a group all to themselves.

Scientifically in the Class of Aves, Pelicans are a very distinct group of birds with all 8 species belonging to a single genus. Distant relatives of the Black-Faced Cormorant and Frigate Birds, migrating Pelicans can stay aloft for periods as long as 24 hours. The Great White Pelican is the longest of the Pelican subspecies reaching 70 inches in length with a spectacular wingspan reaching over 120 inches. The Australian Pelican’s claim to fame is that it has the longest beak of any bird in the world.

Any and all pieces where Pelicans are the primary focus or an integral part of the piece are welcome. We welcome paintings, photos, writing, clothing and please add any exciting pelican facts in the forum. If there is anything we have forgotten – please submit it and we will let you know!
