Good Rord! You're posting some big files!

Pelicans can't really fly, can they?

Oddly enough, they can actually fly:

But they need like 2½ miles of runway to take off, or they have to be towed aloft by several other birds.. lol

It's funny actually, they are really graceful in the air and in the water. On the ground they look like a dump truck with a bad suspension being driven by someone who has had way too much to drink. When I first started watching them I have to admit I wasn't all that enamored with them, but the more time I spend watching them the more I really begin to appreciate their quirky personalities.

Lol.. I think maybe she was trying to tell me something.

superrrrr....

Thanks Larry, truly enjoyed being out and about again. Still getting used to carrying around that 70-200 mm, it's got a bit of heft to it. But I just love shooting with the darn thing.
