These pictures were opportunity shots. A few minutes earlier the pelicans were extremely with as the sun was setting. I just couldn't get away from my friend, so today I'll go back, hopefully they will still be there. From my friend's information this is a resting spot before they move on further south in another 2-3 weeks.
Shot this with my 150-600mm lens, the only lens I had at the time. Intended to shoot an owl in a friend's tree but was too dark to get much of anything.
While there, to my surprise, I saw these migrating pelicans at the end of his street. First shot was taken at 460 mm.
I couldn't get all the birds in one shot, needed to make a panorama shot. The second shot is merged 3 photos at 150mm. Haven't tried making a panorama photo before using Lightroom. I thought it did a great job seeing that I wasn't too careful and handheld.
I'm going back tomorrow with differen't lens and morning light. Should get some decent shots with a wider lens and better light.
This is my first time doing any edits to the picture.
BTW I never noticed the two butterflies in the lower third of the photo till I saw MikonGal's edit.
From what I read I thought people wanted a more challenging image to work on so I posted the Butterflies, maybe to difficult since I haven't seen anything. I will keep it open so if you started working on something you can post your edit for us to see
Now I'll start this new one that should be more fun.

Thank you for your efforts and participation.
I hope you find this image fun to work on. You might need to blow it up to see the three butterflies. They were after the abundance of tree sap. Can you do anything to make them stand out, or should you make them stand out? I think there is some camera shake, can you do anything to help? Do whatever you want, your image to play with.
This is your image this week (JPG below and TIFF version here...
