Taken this afternoon down in St Augustine, Florida, I only went to get some shots of the yachts but a couple of fishermen were cutting up fish from their catch of the day and this was one of the birds dining out for the evening.

Taken with Nikon D300 lens 18 – 200mm

Hi Joyce, told you I was going to the harbour, beautiful warm sunny afternoon and some of the yachts were almost as huge as the Queen Mary, I couldn;tt step back far enough to get the entire picture LOL

Beautiful!! Amazes me the difference in these pelicans versus the ones in Australia.
Hi Wendi!…thanks so much for stopping by and also for the great comments, these are classed as brown Pelican’s…You have some gorgeous Pelican’s in Australia and of course the biggest species in the world:))

Beautifully captured, Kate! Wonderful sharpness, great colors!
Hi Vadim!…thanks you so much for the great comments, I hadn’t expected to see Pelicans’ because I had gone into town to see those huge Marlin fishing boats (another story) a couple of fishermen had the bad luck of dropping a 50lb Marlin in the water and it sank, the area was soon taken over by Pelican’s….the guys never did recover the fish, they were so ticked off:))
