Can You Do This?

Thanks for looking.

Great one! 6/7a. Best regards.

My God what is it doing? All the technicals are great. Never seen like this.

Because there were many hundreds of pelicans in this area, I was able to witness behavoiral patterns that I'd never seen before. In this photo, the bird is stretching its inverted pouch over the curved neck region. From here it moved into a stretch with the neck and bill completely straightened and pointed skyward. I saw this same action with other pelicans over and over again in a two hour period.

Amazing shoot

VERY original! I don't think I would have believed my eyes. Congrats.

It's always strange to watch them do this. Took me by surprise the first time I witnessed this type of behavior. I wonder if they are trying to clean out the inside of their pouches by doing this. Good job with the exposure. I'll have to get down to the harbor to catch these birds before they leave town.

Pelikan trying to be artistic.
