  5. What a gorgeous bird! I love that bill. I've seen pelicans once and that was during a trip to Florida many years ago. Great photos, Carole!

  17. Oh and your photos inspired me to get out a couple of old pictures that I took of a pelican in California on a trip there. Perhaps you will see them one of these days. What amazing birds...

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
