From my archives, an old post from March 2013.
We were at the Dockside Restaurant on the Lynnhaven Inlet in Virginia Beach (Virginia) and at the back where there were tables overlooking the water, there was a marina that attracted many water birds. Besides the usual Gulls, which I always love, there were also Pelicans and Red-breasted Mergansers. (These Mergansers were a first for me. I have seen Hooded Mergansers before.) We had a great view of all the birds, and we were delighted with the show that they put on, especially the Pelican’s take off.
It would have been nice to get some sunshine for these photos, but it was a very grey day. Still, I was happy with what I could get.
Here he goes!
Lift-Off...
and away he goes!
Thanks for dropping in today and
I hope the rest of your week is a great one.
What amazing pelican photos! I am glad there is no sun. It might have ruined the perfection of your shots. Very impressive. I have never seen a real pelican.
