Hi Karen! What a beautiful moment to capture - your patience was rewarded, and now we all get to be amazed by this awesome pelican! I look forward to more drops of beauty :) I'm new to Substack, and hope you'll also visit me at Moments - a weekly newsletter, where I'll be sharing the stories behind my photography, capturing moments of connection in nature and everyday life.
I love this so much! The last few weeks of my life have been graced by pelicans, but always at a distance. What a treat to be able to zoom in on this pelican’s movements. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Sydney, I will check it out! Be patient with me, I am subscribed to so many wonderful newsletters I can't possibly read them all.
Thanks so much, Karen! No worries - I can already easily see how that could happen, so much great writing & photography happening here :)
Great capture!
Thank you Marcia!
Those are great shots! I just love pelicans. They’re the B52 of the bird world.
They are exactly that! Thank you Dawn.
Love Pelicans!
So much to love!

Thank you! I felt really blessed that he came in for a moment!
take away............and, if have webbed feet, or....can web your hands, you might get a lot more traction in difficult situations.
Ha, that's probably true Susi!
Terrific! I wonder if he was waving at you with his feet up!?! 😄
Haha, I love that Sandy!
Was that really feet up? OMG
It was! It was pretty funny! I mean, I've seen them dive and go feet up, but only from swimming, never from the air!
Oh my gosh, I love pelicans so much! These photos are incredibly beautiful!! Thank you SO MUCH for this today, Karen! Xoxox
Thank you Roxy!
You really nailed it with this sequence! A perfect "10"!
Thank you Lauren!
Great burst action!
Thank you Jefferson!
I just love this! Pelicans are so amazing. Thank you for the great photos and commentary!
PS I enjoyed the egret lurking in the background.
I wondered if anyone would notice! :) Thanks Jeffrey!
