A Few Pelicans

There are a good number of Australian Pelicans( at times) that visit Hastie's Swamp NP.

I am trying to photograph them from as many angles as I can.

Cheers

I have few to choose from--American White Pelican.

We live near a golf course and the ponds there provide a stopping place for migratory birds. If lasts for a week or so, but it is fun.

Thanks 1Dx4me,

Thanks Troy,

I usually have to wait for awhile for the Pelicans to do something other than float on the water.:-)
