I found this pelican perched on a post by the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida.

Tuned and cropped in Picasa3 and Photoshop7
Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

Thank you, Isa! Isn’t it amazing how pelicans can maneuver with those huge bills?

This is a “postcard” shot if there ever was one that says ‘Florida’! That’s some nice composition with the dock in the background. Tells a nice story in addition to the bird ‘portrait’. Likey!! :-)
Thanks so much, Susana. That’s a very wonderful and encouraging comment! :-))

Wonderful shot. Nice lighting on its body showing off the feathers. A fave.
Thank you so much, Judy! I had to fool with the lighting a bit. It was very dark and you couldn’t see the face well.

very nice shot Dot. I would love to see one of these birds
Thank you Dave. We don’t see them near our town (pretty far inland), but they are all over the Gulf of Mexico coast whenever I’ve been there. I always wanted to photograph a pelican and now I have several!
