American White Pelican and a cloudy sky
I came across this American White Pelican image in my archives last week and wondered why I hadn’t edited it or published it on my blog. Then I chuckled at myself because I am well aware that I have literally thousands of images like this one that I have taken but haven’t processed, there just isn’t enough time in the day to process all of the images I take.
I photographed this American White Pelican in June of 2011 in one of my favorite locations, Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. It was a somewhat cloudy day with bits of blue sky showing through the clouds and I believe I was on the west side of the auto tour route when the pelican flew by.
If you ever get to Utah be sure to try to spend a morning or even a full day at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge because there is always something great going on there!
Life is good.

Very good image of a marvelous bird I always enjoy seeing. Yes, another trip around the loop on my Vespa is overdue.
Love it. And pelicans more generally. And, since going to Antarctica, I call them by their correct names. For some reason I always called them albatrosses. Knowing it was wrong as soon as it came out of my mouth. A recurrent mental block.
And yes, I too hope you are having a WONDERFUL trip.
A beautiful, graceful image…like subtle hints of blue sky and puffy clouds…hope trip is going well.
Oh, lovely. I adore those huge, grand birds. I love watching flocks of them circling in the sky.
Great job getting all those whites and other lights all exposed nicely. You must be a highly trained professional. =)
Beautiful photo!
I would love to get there,and Antelope Island as well.
