Here's one of the many shots I was able to take when these guys landed in my new home. 800+ arrived to our area to spend the winter eating all the fish they could find. Lake Hollingsworth was full of them, you could barely see the water-everything was white. Now that the food is over at Hollingsworth, they move to Lake Morton and Scott Lake. If anybody is within distance of Lakeland, FL- Hurry up don't miss this massive migration. Send me an email if you need directions. rmung@wildstockphotos.com

This is just beautiful. Great exposure on the Pelican and the gold water is lovely.
