Lisa ... this is for you! Once I finished my running for the day I wanted to get to the waterfront and see if there were any birds around. Just as I pulled into the boat ramp park there were pelicans in this run off pond. I saw them but didn't see what they were doing. I made the round to be sure to evaluate the entire location and when I was heading back towards the exit these guys were dive bombing into the water. It was totally hilarious!! They would fly out of the water a foot or two or ten and then dive right into the water nose first. There were so many shots to choose from but this one took the prize for today. So the rest will be sorted and loaded to my smugmug account. What a great place to watch these guys in action!
Oh man! What a great shot. Look at the action you got with one leaving a wake and the other splashing up water as his beak hits the water. You’re right, I would have LOVED to been there for this. Can’t wait for you to post more of them. I searched all over today for a picture but anything I saw that I would have liked to take a picture of, I was unable to do. It was so nice out today I had my sun roof open on my car. I even considered sticking my camera through it to get some shots as I was going down the road! Ha. OK, I thought it; I didn’t actually ‘consider’ it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it was just a moment of insanity ... no cameras from the sun roof unless they are disposables!! We'll have to add this spot to our day at the Nature Center in Baytown. Not too far and is a great sunset place with the Fred Hartman Bridge in the sun!
