Was privileged to accompany a good friend and two of her friends, all three accomplished photogs, on an outing to Joe Wheeler State Park on 11/2/21. All we found were pelicans but they put on quite a show as they were in a feeding frenzy. The mid-day lighting was very harsh but we did the best we could. I found when they launched simultaneously after a fish they looked like ballet performers. Pelican Lake not Swan Lake It was a great day and the fellowship was splendid.











I see you down there!
I see you down there!...

Gotcha!
Gotcha!...

Into my pouch you go!
Into my pouch you go!...

Don't you dare come up without a fish for me!
Don't you dare come up without a fish for me!...

Yes, it was a fun day! Four photogs shooting the same subjects and each one sees something different. Thanks for the good words.

These birds pass through here, and the white is difficult in hard mid day light. Excellent job!

Nice work. Are they the inspiration for synchronized swimmers?
