Hey you, nice to see something from you, its been a while. Where did you find this great pelican? Excellent shot, and the detail of the feathers and beak. Great job! Best regards, Chris

Great photo, Amy! A very interesting and novel posture. This bird looks to be in the middle of coloration change to (or from) breeding plumage. The upper beak should be browner to match the rufous feathers on the back of the head. May I ask what time of year and location you took this image?

 

I have a lot of time to browse the recently published pictures as I just discovered all the shots I took yesterday of rough-legged hawks, ferruginous hawks, kestrels, prairie falcons, and even mountain bluebirds went to never-never land when the microdrive I was using failed to read. Geez we drove all over San Joaquin county to get those shots. Oh well, there's always room for one more trip...using flash memory this time!

Thanks Fellas...

 

I shot this yesterday at the National Zoo in Washington DC. I really don't know about the coloration changes in pelicans. Interesting.

 

Sorry to hear about the data loss. Being the eternal optimist I would look at it as an opportunity to upgrade your flash drive and make the trip again :) You never know, the next trip may be the one where you get THE shot :)
