Nice head turn and great job handling the side light in this image Ken. This is a very cool looking species of Pelican. Love the stripes on the lower bill. Large image a must!

That's a pretty astonishing set of lips on the bird. From the angle, they look longer than the bird. A good, solid shot of a lovely bird.

Nice low angle and lighting here Ken, I particularly like the pattern in the pouch of the pelican.  devil
