Brown Pelican
Last January I visited my son at college in Jacksonville Florida. I never visit FL without hookin' up with Sandy and Alex. (unwritten rule at our house). Alex couldn't make it but Sandy was game and met us at the AF in St. Augustine. Temp ---- 35 degrees F. The Night Herons at the AF were frozen to their perches and in a bad mood. After an hour or so of shooting the ill-tempered and grouchy BCNH's we ventured forth see what else was available. Julie (my loving wife and chief bird scout) had located some Hooded Mergansers on a nearby lake. Success at last! Not being content with mergansers we ventured forth to the beach. By this time Julie was bored leading two old crotchity photographers around and settled down to read a book. Sandy and I were on our own. On the frozen beaches of N Florida we found pelicans. True nature photographers to the core we stayed until almost dark. I caught this juvenile just starting his dive. D1X 300/2.8 2x 1/500 f/12 ISO 400 SB80DX Beamer. Slight crop Comments appeciated Enjoy, Chip Chip Estabrooks
