Thank you, Jean! The new camera finds the eye and focuses on it. Pretty cool! You have a good rest of your day too. I hope you are recovering well!

I love seeing them out there. They are so photogenic.

I love em. And I also talk to them!

So regal. So beautiful and specialized. An evolutionary marvel. #Pelicans seem so large and heavy and yet they glide seemingly effortlessly through the air. They have a surprisingly large wingspan. Perhaps that's the nature of their grace. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #EastCoastKin

I've been photographing #birds lately. I have a new long lens that I'm learning how to use. It can get out to 600mm.wish I had a little more reach, but this will do for now. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #osprey #birdsinflight #birdphotography #nature

And when you tell the story, you can say that no pelicans were harmed in this interaction! 😁

Thank you, Helen!

Thank you so much, Robert, for the kind words. I'm humbled. It's the same feeling I get when I'm in these natural areas photographing nature's beauty. Animal or plant. Anything living. I'm always in awe. I'm glad you enjoy what I bring home on my memory cards.

Me too! I see them all the time landing on these pilings and hit it every time!

Thank you, Sue! They looked heavy for sure. And have a huge wingspan!
