Thank you, Chris.

I've seen brown pelicans on the lake occasionally before - actually, white pelicans are more common there than brown - but I've not seen them dive & fish there before.

Thanks - kind of you to say.

These were taken between 3:25pm and 4pm, which is nice light this time of year.

Thank you, Thomas.

I initially only saw one brown pelican working the lake, but later there were at least 2, and might have even been a 3rd one - made for a busy photo opp.

Really nice! Love the juxtaposition of nature and city in the shots with the building in the background. Sure seems like this guy made a huge effort for just a tiny snack! :-D

Wow, I just found these and enjoyed them very much. Hi Allen, I have been missing your excellent bird posts. Are you using a new processing method or was it just the good Fall light? Beautiful Brown Pelican, thanks for posting.
