Round 2 with the White Pelicans

After last weeks go around with the humongous flock of White Pelicans landing right behind our place in Cedar Key, I've been jonesing to get back out for another round.
I know they wont be here too much longer with the spring weather finally arriving so I had to jump at the chance to go out again. After a full day of work, with the late afternoon light in the perfect position for where they were sitting, I loaded up the kayak and paddled out to them.
I figured since they wont come to me again, I might as well go to them.

Even though this looks like 3 different frames sandwiched together, it's actually 3 different Pelicans taking off at the same time. Since I was in a Kayak only about 50' from them, I had the perfect angle to shoot up into blank sky!

5. I think this one if my favorite of the afternoon. Usually you dont see Brown Pelican's hanging out with the whites (No Racial Pun Intended:oops:), so when I saw this guy sitting near the flock, I was a bit surprised. As I floated up to them, he opened his wings and took to flight and never came back.
Luckily I was ready and have a whole series of him opening his wings and taking off, but this is my favorite.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
