Brown Pelicans Fishing at Sunrise
Brown Pelicans were out in force last weekend at sunrise along the Gulf coast. They would come close to shore diving for fish. Had a blast tracking them as they flew in and dove into the water. The take-off’s were fun as well. Good opportunity for some action silhouette shots.

And with photos like that, it must have been a real blast.

Thanks Lyle. It was lots of fun, but most trips to the Gulf coast are.

Thanks Sheldon. I did make it back out there with a client on Sunday. Not ideal conditions but we got up close and personal with a Rail which was very cool.
