Perched Pelican hanging on for dear life

The wind caught this pelican a couple of times and he almost lost his balance, flapping his wings until he could stabilize. Meanwhile, another guy with a camera tried to get his picture...

Good Florida pelican shot.; October 31, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Pelican Products said...: This picture is amazing. I love how the pelican is posing for the photos and his feather pattern and colors are beautiful. I think a pelican is one of the most magnificent birds to catch on film. They look incredibly graceful in the air and in photos, while at the same time are goofy and humorous when they are caught on video.; November 3, 2009 at 8:23 AM
Rose said...: I like that first shot!; November 5, 2009 at 11:07 AM
