Two pelicans and a Nikon by soboy5

Two pelicans and a Nikon

There were a lot of pelicans in Tulum and I spent a couple of early mornings on the beach, capturing them in flight and fishing. These two guys spent a half hour together fishing and flying one morning just after sunrise. I had never captured pelicans in flight before this trip and I found it fun (but a bit more difficult than I expected!) More pelican pics to come soon.

I suppose you all can tell my theme has switched to Tulum. Of the 500 images I shot there, I am really happy with about 30 of them, and I am going to share those with my friends on the project over the next month.
Lovely light on the water.

@jackie8 Thanks, Jackie - I was so impressed with these two pelicans - they seemed to be fishing buddies. So prehistoric looking yet so graceful...

@cgould Thank you so much, Celia. I thought the same thing, they are magnificent birds and I watched them glide on the wind thermals for a very long time!
