September 22, 2007 at 7:12 AM, daybreak, flocks of pelicans lifted off and island and came to the Anna Maria Pier for breakfast. Diane and I read about the phenomena in the paper and watched in Amazement. The most amazing part we could not get pictures because of the darkness.
There were also hundreds of Seagulls.
CLICK HERE for my favorite former post on Pelicans, my favorite bird.
I love the limerick in your earlier post. These photos are truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bird is the snowy egret, Sandra. And, i am not sure why, except that it's fun to watch when it hunts for food and the yellow feet make me smile...crazy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I also smiled when you described your dish collection in a comment on Mona's newest dish buy.
I would have loved to be there for that!!!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous sunrise. I love the Pelicans, they are one of my favorites.. Awesome shots.. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love brown pelicans too. I just don't get to see enough of them.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. Lucky you. Have a serene Sunday and we should all partake of some big easy today.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

ReplyDeleteWow! I feel that you captured it well. WISH I had seen it!! My favorite is the very first picture, the excitement of what's to come and the pink background.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand sight. Both the birds and the dawning.
ReplyDeleteThese Pelicans are both comical and beautiful,at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sandra! Especially the first shot. Love it!
ReplyDeletewow...never seen so many at one place!
ReplyDeleteI have only seen one or two wayward pelicans. Never that many. Always reminds me of the verse my dad would say. A funny bird is a pelican it's beak can hold more than its bellycan I don't know how in the hellitcan.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the gulls might have been a little intimidated by the pelicans. I love watching pelicans, they remind me of prehistoric creatures. You got some great shots of those guys!
ReplyDeleteI am missing the beach. Thought I might get to make a trip down to one but, alas, it doesn't look promising! I will content myself with looking at your photos! I may have to visit some of your older posts to get my 'sea fix!'
ReplyDeleteA large flock of birds is impressive, and you got to see your favorites en masse.
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures. They really are a fascinating looking bird
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, your photos are fun to see. So many pelicans! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love these Pelicans. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome... talk about being in the right place at the right time...wish i could have been there.
ReplyDeleteWish I had some beach time - that is just what I need!
