Greetings from Florida! by taffy

Greetings from Florida!

Visited a wildlife park with friends prior to a conference in Tampa. Great time to practice with my superzoom. I thought this looked to be a pretty jovial pelican.
He does look like he's laughing. Great capture.

December 2nd, 2017  
He is special with the fantastic lighting -- fav
December 2nd, 2017

December 2nd, 2017  
I love the transparency to the lower bill.

@onewing They have white ones, gray ones, and brown ones in Florida -- but no brown ones where we are located at the moment.
December 2nd, 2017  
I love the detail on the beak, and the expression.
December 3rd, 2017  
Spectacular capture.
December 3rd, 2017  
Think he wants to play catch....as long as you're pitching fish
December 3rd, 2017  
Super photo. I've yet to see a white pelican. If you were at the convention center, my son used to live a few blocks away. Now, he's a few miles. I hope you enjoyed Tampa!
December 3rd, 2017  
Amazing moment! Enjoy!
December 3rd, 2017  
Your superzoom looks like it is doing a good job.
December 3rd, 2017  
Great light.
December 3rd, 2017  
Where's @gigiflower when she's needed?
December 3rd, 2017  
Excellent.
December 3rd, 2017  
Sam
@terryliv Hey Hey Poppo!!!!! I might be making a comeback soon.........!
December 3rd, 2017  
Wow -- you can see through the fish-catching part of the bill!
December 3rd, 2017  
Oh, and now I know you are in Florida :)
December 3rd, 2017  
He's actually asking you to play catch. You catch the fish and throw it in his sack! Great shot and lighting.
December 3rd, 2017  
What an amazing shot of his beak- it looks so delicate - much too delicate to do the job it does! He looks a little different to our pelicans too - not as much black.
December 4th, 2017  
Oh, neat! Love the light shining through his err... mouth? Nice to be in Tampa, too.
December 4th, 2017  
Awesome love the light and the pelican!
December 4th, 2017  
The backlight on his beak looks so cool!!! Amazing photo!
December 4th, 2017  
Love it! He looks so happy. Fav.
December 5th, 2017  
Super nice backlit bird. Love also the pink glow on his belly. Fav :-)
December 5th, 2017  
The detail in its feathers, glint in its eye, and light making its throat pouch translucent all make this an amazing photo!
