X - Ray Eyes

I admire the pelicans' vision and acrobatics when diving for fish from way up high - this one kept a very close eye on me :-)))
February 2013 on the Isla Espiritu Santo off La Paz/ Baja California Sur, Mexico

    Es ist wirklich eine sehr interessante und schöne Spezies von Pelikanen, die dort lebt. Deine herrliche Aufnahme dokumentiert dies eindrücklich.

    : ))) and he seems to not mind being depicted with a prissy little double chin! ; )) i can't help but find them cute, even though i know they are quite resolute and powerful animals… there's this clip on the internet showing a pelican swallow a pigeon that's struggling for about a half hour to escape his pouch – to no avail! absolutely horrifying to watch. and yet, there's something about them that's utterly charming. this one's light-blue eye – fascinating and so very "oceanic"! ; ) my favorite detail in this shot, though, are the terry-like textures of his neck feathers. makes me want to reach out and touch them – – ouch, there goes my hand! ; )) hugs, sabine.
