Pelican Preening

An American White Pelican preening in shallow water in a local lake. The wind stopped blowing for a few minutes and I was able to capture this almost perfect reflection of the beautiful bird. (lucky again?)

Incredible reflections- great timing for that one.

I am expecting him to fall over any second now!

What an awesome pose. Not sure I have seen a pelican do that before.

Terrific image. The handling of the highlights is wonderful. Luck, just how long do you spend looking at weather forecasts? I sometimes get lucky with fog. Ken
