Brown Pelican -- LIFTOFF! (Pelecanus occidentalis)

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 30m.

The best of a series of takeoff photos I was lucky enough to catch. Watching these huge birds get airborne gives you a real appreciation for how powerful they are.

What a great take-off shot that is Kevin. I just love all the water action!

It just shows how much power they generate, doesn't it.

A super picture - well done lad.
