Heading Out

I love to watch pelicans. Whether they are perched, flying, swimming or diving – it doesn’t matter as I can watch them for hours. They are also great for “target practice,” an expression I use for improving my shots of birds in flight. They fly very steadily, typically in a straight line. They don’t move real fast, either, so its fairly straightforward to get a good auto focus lock on them.

 

I like the splash of color at the tip of this one’s bill – it really pops against the background sky.

 

Thanks so much for your views and comments!
