White Pelicans resting Before Babies

Another shot from Malheur. From what I am reading the bump on top of their beaks is breeding "plumage". They did give the appearance of resting in the sun before the work of feeding their babies to be began. Best viewed large to see the eyes in focus and the breeding bump.
Thanks so much for taking my raindrop shot to the PP. I really liked it so it's a delight to have you like it too and thanks also for the comments and visits and favs for my broken glass shot.
yep. viewed large. the colors around the eyes are great..
