Thanks for your comments, friends. This was taken at Newport pier early Sunday morning. It was high tide and one of the dory fishermen had just tossed out a bucket of fish guts. The birds were more concerned with getting their share of food than with me sitting in their midst snapping photos. http://www.doryfleet.com/index2.htm

Wow! has a surreal feel to it.

[cglist]

Wonderful capture!

[Tabbycat]

Love those strange grey/brown/yellow Californian pelicans. Ours are just black and white...

[Autumn Eden]

A fav for me as well! I do love pelicans!

[Sharon Addison]

incredible !

[Ellen E]

Oh my gosh! I have never seen pelicans gather like this on the shore -- I always see them on their little "peninsula" (jetty) or on rooftops. This is so awesome! I love your processing too. Fantastic!

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely picture. Nice one.

[hellcat]

love this!

[Slava]

Amazing!!

[Brad Johnson]

[Jenna Richards]

Wow! I love how many birds you were able to get in this shot.
