   Nice, I like the shape it makes preening itself, and the yellow stands out very nicely against the blue.

    My cousin used to tell me that the stork brought babies and the pelican ate babies 🙂

    Excellent shot, Nick. The sky is really nice and I love the colors of the pelican. You look pretty close too, eh? Even at 200, pretty tight crop.

    I like that yellow hat he\'s wearing, the pelicans here don\'t have that. At least not that I\'ve noticed.
