While on a pier waiting for free handouts, this Pelican decided to pose for me turning just right for a close up head shot..Although majestic while in flight, they are really quite ugly up close. With wing spans over 7 feet long, the Pelican is fun to watch as they tuck their wings together and nose dive out of the sky for fish. Plunging into the water to gather its catch, the Pelican then kicks his head back and swallows the fish whole..
What great detail!
