A closeup of pelican storing fish in its pouch. I was lucky that these majestic birds allowed me within a few feet of them as they were feeding, giving me several interesting photo ops.
An American white pelican in the process of digesting a carp. I observed the pelican holding on to the fish for well over an hour, during which it was continuously tilting its head and agitating its pouch. I like the dramatic pose enhanced by morning light.
