At my local park, Shadow Cliffs, I was amazed to find I had caught this at the "peak" moment. I was doing individual photos for the challenge of it so have the pelican catching the fish and then this image. I have never posted an image here before but wanted to share.

Excellent catch. One can actually see the fish going down. Mahalo for sharing.

That is one tremendous picture. Of course pelicans do this every day, perhaps several times a day, but I have never seen a photo like yours. Well done.

Gulp! Does a Pelican have a shredder in its throat?
Great shot. Thanks for sharing.
