Camera Critters - 29
 
My CC contribution - an American White Pelican View definition in a new window. These guys are huge! Impressively so! Quite a bit larger than it’s cousin the Brown Pelican View definition in a new window! They like chilling out at lakes inland, too - not only in coastal regions.

    I am ALWAYS in awe of your photography, Klaus. I think I have probably asked you before, so please forgive me for repeating myself, but I am very curious as to what camera/equipment you use.

    This is a fantastic photo.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Wonderful shot. I don’t remember seeing any pelicans when I lived in Florida, although one of my sunset pictures at Lake Apopka did have about half dozen large white birds off in the distance. Could have been pelicans. I really enjoy your pictures. Sorry I haven’t visited for a day or two.

    Very good back lighting ;) That is one large pelican! I have no idea how many inches go into a meter but the Aussies only have one type of Pelican who are up to 1.9m with 2.6m wingspan. I really like the orange eye ring and bill/pouch!
