The Brown Pelicans in the Galapagos were a kick, especially when we spent some time in a rookery. Another great opportunity is shooting Brown's in breeding plumage at La Jolla Cover in San Diego. I don't seen any frigate birds in any of your photos or perhaps I did not look hard enough. I believe the bird taking a ride on the pelican in the water is a Lava Gull. Great shots, love seeing them. thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Fran. That one was irresistible. Unfortunately, I had to shoot from a very awkward place. Where I wanted to stand was piled high with fish ready to sell!

Well, I wondered about that. But that's what the guide said it was. I assumed he knew. But it didn't look like the other frigates I shot.
Yes, they are wonderful to watch. Thanks so much for looking.

Thanks, Sylvia. They are so graceful in the air, and I, too, love to watch them dive straight down. Glad you enjoyed.

When I was on the Galapagos, I found lots of pelis to shoot! I enjoy them because they can be regal, funny, agile, awkward, and sometimes all of the above at once! So here are some of my favorite pelican shots from the Galapagos.
Very nice set well done....Rich
