Description
This is another image taken on Sunday at the Monte Casino Bird Conservatory. Told you I'm going to flood you!!!
This Eastern White Pelican (and what a beauty he is) took off and flew across a pond to pick up a snack on the other side. He is majestic!! We were told that the pouch underneath his beak can hold 40 sardine sized fish... Now that is a load!
Thank you for the comments and favs on my previous upload of the Golden Pheasant. Thanks also for clicking in and for any comments you wish to leave.
Hugs, Carin xx

Spectacular shot, such clarity and even the shadow is impressive. Finished of with some lovely postwork! Well done Carin!
beautiful pelican and scenery!
An excellent composition, SUPERB!!!
Superb capture Carin, had it just taken off or was it just coming in to land, carrying 40 fish it would be like a jumbo jet, I wouldn't want to be near for splashdown, lol. Excellent work, much better than any I have managed to capture. Bravo!!!!!
A awesome capture Carin. The wing span is goregous with the lighting and the shadow is something else. A special image indeed.
Wonderful capture Carin, love the colours in this.
Outstanding pic. I love the details of all the feathers...wings and tail. This large Pelican is an amazing creation. Everything we see has a role in his life in his wetland environment. Bill
Beautiful shot! :)
This is one amazing shot, Carin. I never could get such clarity with an "in flight" type of photo and you accomplished a GEM here...

Wonderful shot, Carin--there are tundra swans that winter near me, and they look a lot like this bird--need a big runway and lots of taxi space!! Great foto!!
Wonderful shot! Great detail of this beautiful bird!
