  1. Brown Pelican Glide

    This brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) had just completed a plunge dive when I snapped this image. Here, the bird is beginning its ascent, wings lifting as it shakes off the ocean’s surface. I followed it with my camera as it climbed higher and higher, gaining altitude with that steady, powerful rhythm pelicans have. A moment later it rose to a good height, banked slightly, and plunged again into the Gulf of Mexico.

    Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

  2. Looking at the standings, the New Orleans Pelicans are a truly terrible team this year - so terrible that they are worse than the Sacramento Kings. Despite the Pelicans' worst efforts, they still rise above those of the league-worst Indiana Pacers. The Pelicans have lost 6 games in a row. The Pacers have lost 12. They are one road loss and one home loss worse than the Pelicans. Kids, this is how professionals get the best draft picks! 😎

    Keep working on it. I'm sure you can catch them if you don't try! 👍

  4. I have a little song I sing this time of year, it goes Ten Thousand Photographs of Pelicans 😀 and yes, here are two of those photographs and one that MIGHT be a stealth whale! I can't tell! I said, Computer, Enhance! and go figure, it didn't help. So I will let you all be the judge of that: whale? Or no whale? It might be two diving pelicans. But I think it is a whale. #photography #pelicans #brownpelican #canonphotography #oregoncoast #birding #wildlife

  5. Poised Above the Deep

    Here’s a brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) I spotted at Savannah Beach on Tybee Island. I shared another image a few days ago—my goal was to capture them mid-dive. Judging by the activity, there must’ve been a school of fish just offshore. I was hoping to catch one right before it hit the water, but that moment slipped past me.

    My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:

  7. Nature's Aeronaut

    Brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) are fascinating to observe. I captured this image as one of these remarkable birds ventured close to the shore in Gulfport, Mississippi. Earlier, I had been watching it farther out, diving for dinner—a truly awe-inspiring sight.
