Pelicans by the Shore

This image shows a raft of white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos). I recently learned that a group of pelicans resting in the water is called a raft. The photo isn't great—I struggled to get a good angle on the pelicans from the ferry I was on, and my camera at the time wasn't as good as the ones I use now for wildlife photography. Today, I wondered whether they were hunting or resting. White pelicans typically hunt in groups by herding fish towards the shore. However, based on their demeanor in this image, I would guess they are resting.

Take a moment to explore my photo gallery, where every image captures the quiet elegance of nature—be it wading through still waters or gliding effortlessly across them.

After a busy day of fishing the local bay waters, these magnificent 7 American White Pelicans were photographed resting on the dock in the late afternoon sunlight. Always a joy to photography these gorgeous avians.

These two beautiful snowy white American White Pelicans were seen swimming in the glassy black waters of the bay mangroves. These gorgeous creatures are winter visitors to the Sunshine State and we look forward every October to their return to our coastal environs. A color, black and white photo.
