Brown pelicans were common sights at two of my vacation destinations this year, the Florida Keys and Cabo san Lucas, Mexico. They are seemingly effortless fliers, often gliding less than a meter above the water. I quite enjoyed an early morning cup of coffee watching them head out over the water from their night roosts as the sun came up.

This individual flew over our camp in the Keys. I hit the shutter release quite a few times on this bird and others, in Florida and Mexico, and had very few keepers. I think I'll have to take a trip to the (New) Jersey shore and practice my technique on the many gulls there.
