Pelican Preening
This African Great White Pelican was busy preening when I saw him at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. Of course, I might as well have said he was busy breathing, since a breathing pelican is a preening pelican. How they have time to fish or ever learn to fly is a triumph of time management. I had a long lens on here, and couldn't back up far enough to get its' entire head in the picture, so I went for the abstract.

Like most photographs, it looks best large. Press "L" if you'd like to see it that way. You probably won't regret it.
