An American white pelican feeds before going to roost on a summer evening in N Utah. I noticed the as it searched for its food, the white pelican swam against a dark part of the reeds. The directional light and dark background made for a pleasing image.
A western grebe feeds its juvenile a minnow at the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Juveniles stay with their parents till late in the summer and often rely on the parent grebes for food as they are still learning to fish for themselves.
