Getting an Earful

I captured this interaction between two Cormorants and two Pelicans yesterday at the San Elijo Lagoon. The Cormorants are regulars at the Lagoon whereas the Pelicans are infrequent visitors. I'm guessing that the locals are giving the visitors an earful about the pecking order rules.

The pelicans do not look too impressed with the attempt to pull rank.

What a wonderful shot! It does look like the cormorants are telling the pelican off. The pelican at right doesn't look too impressed.

The one talking is probably saying "You are only allowed to get fish that are too big to fit in our mouths". Delightful and well done image, Nick. ~BV~
