A Loner
Pelicans usually are sociable birds. They like to stay in groups.
This pelican definitely is a loner,
he spent the whole day on our local pond alone.
Pelican found a secluded place and stayed there enjoying the last warm day.
He napped, cleaned himself and "yawned".
opening his mouth wide and stretching his pouch.
There was audience looking with fascination at pelican's "yawing".
A little duck settled on the tree (on the left) to watch his performance.
It looks like the pelican is singing to the sky, or he's a helmet, or he is steadfast to eat food from the sky.
ReplyDeleteThe photo has very beautiful tones and the decor is idyllic.
Que envidia tener la oportunidad de poder tomar estas estupendas fotografías.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Schön der Pelikan steht schön im Licht an dem kleinen Teich.
ReplyDeleteMe encanta! Lastima que no tomases el reflejo en el agua, Kaya.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Fine and lovely shots
ReplyDeleteКрасавец. Мне пеликаны очень нравятся, интересные птицы.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he has been disowned by the flock. ~(‾▿‾)~
ReplyDeleteFrom a significant distance, a flight of pelicans might be mistaken for a flight of geese, but my experience has been they neither fly nearly as high nor nearly as fast as geese do .... sort of laze along, I would describe it.
ReplyDeleteI like your photographs here, Kaya .... they are excellent and there is no mistaking this guy for anything but a pelican.
En que buen momento lo has captado. El pico completamente abierto, enfrascado en su canto y sin reparar en lo que pasa a su alrededor.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Dos preciosas fotografías de ese vistoso pelícano blanco mostrando su bolsa en toda su magnitud mientras es observado por el pato posado en la rama frente a él.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo,
