Brown Pelicans

Brown pelicans take pride in their grooming.


Without arms or hairbrushes, that takes some work.

Thank goodness for that long neck, right?

If I could bend like that I'd be the cleanest guy in town.

Pelicans are entertaining. They can also be a challenge to try to photograph as they plunge into the water for a fish.

Nice photo.

I already have a crick in my neck just looking at this one!! What a fun shot for the day!! I love it! Hope your week is going well, Jack!!

Those pelicans are always fun to watch, even when they are engaging in their personal "toilet."

William Kendall said...

Now that's flexibility. A fun capture, Jack!

Fun shot Jack, he is ready for the circus!

That must feel so good! Love the detail of all the feathers, Jack.

I think I need to try that. Hopefully I'll make it to work tomorrow afterwards.

Is this a friend of yesterday's pelican?

Kay said...

Great shot! And, hey. Even with arms and hairbrushes sometimes even the best of grooming routines doesn't accomplish enough.

Show off

So cool!

Randy said...

Looks like he's really going at it.

Terrific nature photography. It's a standout because it's not just a pretty bird, it's a bird's life.

You caught the beast in a fantastic pose. I remember Australian pelicans fondly. I managed to catch shots of them in pretty awkward positions too!

What a capture, Jack! Great timing.

He is darling! Don't they have beautiful coloring? Never noticed it here until I viewed this photo I took... http://palosverdesdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2011/01/theme-day-best-photo-of-2010.html
I had a huge print made for my hubby...poster size at Costco, came out good.
