Me and My Shadow

I watched these two guys for a while and was fascinated by the way this guy in the background mimicked every move of the pelican in the foreground. He'd turn to his left, so would his shadow. He'd look up, he'd look down, so would his shadow. He's like the annoying baby brother.

Cute shot and great narration.

He does actually look a lot younger! Maybe he knows how to learn about life! Neat shot!

I haven't seen a shoebill in an age! At first glance, I thought I was looking at garden decorations! LOVE your caption! made me laugh!

[Pam Knowler]

Such wonderful looking birds! Great capture and lovely narrative! Fav!

[Denise Wood]

Great pair :)

[Sally Ings]

It must have been quite comical to watch!

[Shaheed Ali]

Great shot! love the title and the description! Good one Ron!

[Nova]

Wonderful shot and I enjoyed reading your experience. :)

[Kate Goring]

I love this Ron. The placement of the "shadow" is brilliant. Baby brothers can be annoying but in truth older brothers are lost without them :)

[Anita Campbell]

Love it! Great comment about it too. I guess the shadow is trying to be exactly that....... Awesome capture.

@redy4et @maggiemae @Weezilou @pamknowler @gilbertwood @salza @sakphotography @novab @kategoring @aglennc @maree_sanderson @simta Thanks to all for the comments and glad you enjoyed as much as I did. Sorry again for the group thanks, but I missed a day and you know it doesn't take long to fall behind in comments and responses!

@stray_shooter Thought about you all yesterday at Huntington Beach. Wish John and I could have been there. However, leaving tomorrow at Oh dark 30 on our trip, we decided we'd better stay home and get ready. Well be back for the next meet up. Count us inn! Someone said it was your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Those shoebill Storks are so prehistoric looking. I wonder why he was mimicking the pelican. Maybe he was trying to be cool and fit in.

Oh, P.S. Fav! I love your processing on this
