The pelicans were a LOT of fun!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think #2 is a Brown Booby... There was one sighted in CT a few days ago and it was a huge deal among the birders....

Maybe it's my screen but the white balance looks really off...

I think coastalconn is right. The second one looks a lot like a Brown Booby. Regardless, it is definitely not a Pelican. The action shots of the Brown Pelican are pretty good. I like the last one best. I also think that your white balance is off, particularly in the bird shots. They seem to have a bit of bluish tinge to them. Are you using a calibrated monitor?

I'm not sure if my monitor is calibrated. How can I check if it is? How can I calibrate it if it is not?
