Brown Pelican diving for fish

Taking a morning dip into the Florida files with another fun frame from an afternoon at Venice Beach. It's quite awe-inspiring to see the strikingly intense focus as hunters from the air stay locked onto their targets!

Good morning everyone. Lovely day in the UK. Albeit cold. How many crazy cabriolet drivers will we see with their roofs down today? Haha.

Alan's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #LandMeetsWater or #TreePerchers

#SnowyEgret
#LittleBlueHeron
#BrownPelican which I thought ticks both themes.

A Brown Pelican swimming in a river. His wings are slightly lifted as they catch a breeze.

This Brown Pelican is resting in the Apalachicola River. They often glide just above the water before plunging for fish. Watching them work the shoreline along Florida’s Forgotten Coast is always impressive.

A large brown bird is perched on the railing of a pedestrian bridge. His bill is large enough to grab toy dogs. Not saying he will, just that he could.

A Brown Pelican rises out of a blurred blue-green ocean, a few droplets of water trail behind. His wings are extended up and out in a wide V, and he is leaning slightly to his left (our right:).

Hope you are soaring into the weekend✨
