I have made similar shots in various seasons any number of times. This time I caught an ice floe as a foreground element.

Brown Pelicans cruise low over the water, but dive into the water for food. They create quite a striking image, like the one in this picture, when diving for fish.
They are very large birds, with a 7'6" (2.3m) wingspan, and a length of 45-54 inches (1.1-1.4m). The picture looks best in large size.
Brown Hare - Lepus europaeus
Norfolk
The brown hare is known for its long, black-tipped ears and fast running - it can reach speeds of 45mph when evading predators. It prefers a mosaic of farmland and woodland habitats and can often be spotted in fields.
Thought to have been introduced into the UK in Roman Times (or even earlier), the brown hare is now considered naturalised. It is most common in grassland habitats and at woodland edges, favouring a mosaic of arable fields, grasses and hedgerows. It grazes on vegetation and the bark of young trees and bushes. Brown hares do not dig burrows, but shelter in 'forms', which are shallow depressions in the ground or grass; when disturbed, they can be seen bounding across the fields, using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Brown hares are at their most visible in early spring when the breeding season encourages fighting or 'boxing'. Females can produce three to four litters of two to four young (known as leverets) a year.
Widespread, but absent from northern Scotland and the Scottish islands, except Islay, I'm reliably informed.

Upper Packrat Trail, Tilden Nature Area, Berkeley, CA.
This Brown Creeper was doggedly picking apart the thick layers of spiderweb and proteinaceous spider silk with persistence, and eventually was able to snatch the crown jewel behind the structure.
A beautiful young White-tailed fawn showing off her big brown eyes and huge ears. There were five in this field resting in the cool grass.
Brown hare that has just picked up on my shutter noise, it stopped in it's tracks before retreating into the cover.
In this narrow alley, the inhabitants preferred earthy soft shades of brown and ocher, which are beautifully combined with the clear blue sky.

An aggressive defender of its nest, the Brown Thrasher is known to strike people and dogs hard enough to draw blood.
Wish I knew this ahead of time
One of the largest muroids, it is a brown or grey rodent with a body up to 25 cm (10 in) long, and a similar tail length; the male weighs on average 350 g (12 oz) and the female 250 g (9 oz). Thought to have originated in northern China, this rodent has now spread to all continents except Antarctica, and is the dominant rat in Europe and much of North America—making it by at least this particular definition the most successful mammal on the planet after humans.[2] With rare exceptions, the brown rat lives wherever humans live, particularly in urban areas.
Fawn spotted me with my telephoto in the woods. With the big brown eyes and spots they are beautiful creatures.

Another first sighting for me and very happy to find one on this dead tree as they rarely come out of the brush.
Exuberant singers with a loud, long series of doubled phrases with no definite beginning or end: “plant a seed, plant a seed, bury it, bury it, cover it up, cover it up, let it grow, let it grow, pull it up, pull it up, eat it, eat it.”
