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

He’s actually sitting on a white Draining pipe - creating the beautiful buish effect!

All the lovely details of his feathers are beautiful in this photo- just love the pose! I would love to be able to capture shots like this! Need to sign up for photography lessons & learn how to use the camera.

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.

Hi - I’m not sure if I answered, though I remember you asking!
I’m shooting with a Nikon D70s and a Sigma 70-300mm most of the time.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers, Klaus

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!

Man - that is a nice picture! I’d love to see one of those. I hardly saw any brown pelicans in NC. I began to think those fake owls really do keep them away! Bummer!
