White Pelicans Feeding
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Merritt Island, Florida
January 5th, 2024
I was able to get this capture, on the very last morning of our weeklong trip to Merritt Island refuge. My wife and I were at the last water pool on the refuge driving trail, just minutes before we were leaving for home when a large pod of White Pelicans came in to feed in the morning light. On this capture, I watched as this pod of about 25 pelicans just floated along, feeding on the pools grass bed. The pelicans would dip their heads deep into the water and pull up mouthfuls of grass to feed upon. Using some foreground bushes for depth, interest and to create a base for the image, I was able to grab this capture. I tried to time the image as best I could to ensure as many of the pelican's faces were above the water line. I was really happy with the end result.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
