Fort Desoto Park, St Petersburg, FL

Most of the birds in this gallery were photographed in Ft DeSoto park; the pelicans were at the St. Petersburg Pier. The pelicans showed no fear, agitation, or other reaction to people getting very close to them (about 5-6 ft); actually, they seemed kinda bored and oblivious.

Hi Loren,
My favorite shot is #23083. And gosh, I didn't know that spoonbill birds were pink (?)
The photos were excellent.
