We get pelicans passing through our area all the time so it is not unusual to see them. However, this is the first time I’ve seen one on the pond at my condos. I was opening the door to take the trash out (domestic stuff) and noticed him(her). This shot was taken about 3:30 PM with my 70-200mm, and then cropped about 50%, resized, a slight levels adjustment and finished with USM. I like its reflection and the reflection of the trees in the water. Hope everyone had a great day!

We don't get pelicans here. Great mirror shot. I would like to see them in the wild...

That's my pelican. I'd know him anywhere.
