recents white pelican and catfish

It took him about 20 min to down this catfish. At one point it

appeared that the catfish barb had pierced the pelicans sac, but

eventually he managed to free it and swallow it. Lucky pelican.

Wow, Monte, this is really a gem!! Can't believe the size of that fish! He is really straining. Perfect technicals.

As always Monte! Bravo!

 

Best regards

Hi Monte,

    Amazing image with beautiful clarity, colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Amazing picture with a very interesting story to tell. The pelican is tack sharp and the details are really stunning.

best regards Per. 

Excellent image, Monte! Those guys are so hard for me to capture. They either get over exposed or the bg goes black. You've got the perfect combination here. Well done.

Amazing image Monte, great crispness and dof.

Kind regards Louise

A fine capture, Monte.  Wonder when the bird had it's next meal....

 

Viewing large looks wonderful Monte! TFS!

Spectacular timing and capture.

Great Shot Monte!

Wow

That is an awesome shot!!!! great details and background!

Excellent shot, Monte. Now I know the meaning of 'mouthful'. 7.

A fine shot. It seems impossible for them to swallow these things the way they do.

Better than anything I've ever seen on NatGeo! Such an enjoyable work to the eye! Thanks for sharing.
