Feathered Friends Part III

Welcome back! Today I have more pelican shots...Sorry! These are the last of my "most" favourite shots, taken in Calabash, NC on March Break.

These are photos of the juvenile brown pelicans that we saw. I should have videotaped them as they were walking along..they waddle very similar to penguins...another one of my favourites! They did keep moving away from me for some reason! Maybe they don't like the paparazzi pointing a big camera in their beaks!

The last photo is the one of the little fishing hut, where the fisherman was cleaning fish and where all the other pelicans were congregating.

Next week I shall have shots from the Myrtle Beach Zoo, although I'm not sure what yet..probably more birds! :-)

Have a great week!

Feathered Friends Part II

Hello! This week I have a continuation of the "folder" with the brown pelicans in it from Calabash, North Carolina. The first two shots of are of the pelican group that I highlighted last week. The next 5 are shots of two different pelicans...we are thinking they are juvenile ones, based on their lack of colouring and they are also smaller in size. These guys were in the same area, although over on a different dock by themselves. My favourite shots are 5 and 8..ok, I admit they are all my favourite or I wouldn't have added them!! :-)

I will have another week of pelican shots next week and then I'll move on!

Have a great week!

Brown Pelicans

Here are some shots of the Brown Pelican, taken at the Alligator Adventure once again. This guy is not a resident of the AA, but was having a rest on a fence near the very back of the park. Pelicans have to be one of my favourite birds! Sorry if the pictures look like the same shot, but there was something about each of these that I liked, his eye, his pose, etc! The 5th picture is not the best, but I wanted to include his wing span...it should have been shot horizontal, but I didn't have time to switch angles or he would have been done stretching! The last photo is my favourite and shows he was watching us as much as I was watching him!

I do have more photos of pelicans taken at a different spot that I'll include in a few weeks. Next week I will include some other bird shots from the Alligator Adventure, then that will be it for that folder (I think!)

On Another Note: Happy Anniversary to SMaracle Photography Blog...It's been going for 4 years as of yesterday! Hard to believe it's been that long...seems like yesterday when I started it! Time sure flies!

Have a GREAT week!

Myrtle Beach Pelicans

And no, I don't mean the baseball team!!! These odd looking cuties (brown pelicans) were hanging out at Murrell's Inlet Boardwalk same place as they were last year! We went there two different times this trip and I probably shot about 1000 pics of them and so here are my top 6 favourite ones! After owls, these have to be my favourite bird! Saw a documentary on them this morning too, which reminded me I wanted to post some pictures of them on my blog...Enjoy!
