I arrived at Port Washington a bit before 6 am this morning. When one wants to photograph white birds, it is important to capture their images before the sun gets to high in the sky. Intense sun tends to “blow out” white in photographs. I hope you enjoy the fishing sequence … cool birds.
White Pelicans Fishing on Lake Michigan (all the same bird and sequence)
Close-Up of a fish in the Pouch! (different bird)
I love seeing what the top of their bill looks like. Any idea what the sticking up part does?
The “bill horn” falls off after mating season, and does not appear to have any practical use. Thus, it seems to just be for “show”.
Thank you!
