Nice shots.

Really now - is that the same Pelican????

Great shots and worthy subject. Considering you cropped, these are sharp as a tack. You just need one more of someone tossing him a fish!

thanks C Jones & Bob.
(Some credit has to go the the KP & 18-135!; I love this combo.)

I didn't see him until he hit the water with some speed. He actually chest bumped the rim of the aerator.

Coming in Hot
