Traveling Pelican
When the pelican started swimming I was amazed by the symmetry of his reflection and ripples in the lake water. I posted a few other shots of him if you wish to see more of this guy.

Traveling Pelican

I was out trying to capture rainbows during our monsoon season when this pelican came to handout with me. I think he was trying to fish but having as much fishing as I was finding rainbows. I really loved his reflecting in the water so I decided to take some shots of him when I noticed his red tag. Then I decided to shoot a couple of shots to get his tag number and see if I could track where he came from or where he is going. I have yet to hear back but I will update this post if I find out more. Below are some shots I got that I ended up liking. If you want a print of any of the photos vising my shop or contact me.

A photo still pelican with a mirror image reflection in the water.
The pelican was holding perfectly still while trying to fish which made a great reflection in the calm water. I shot this image for the reflection and to get his tag number so I could see if I can figure out where he is traveling from.

After several minutes of standing perfectly still and having no luck fishing the pelican stretched its wings and moved on to a new location.
