Description
The secret to getting a pelican to sit still for a portrait is the same as for a dog, or a child for that matter. You feed them.
I was walking with the Stepmother on Huntington Beach Pier when we came upon a fisherman cleaning his catch. Patiently waiting close by was our Handsome Boy ready to catch anything the fisherman threw his way.
