During our visit to the Outer Banks we saw a lot of Pelicans. There were quite a few Pelicans hanging out by the bridge at Pea Island. I think the Pelican is a cool looking bird... kind of pre-historic looking and one of my favorites and I love to watch them dive into the water for food. I was happy to see so many of them doing well and in one spot.
These are my shots for Watery Wednesday Thanks to 2sweetnsaxy for hosting this watery meme.
And thanks for visiting my watery post.
It must be wonderful to see these birds in their natural habitat, endlessly entertaining.
ReplyDeletevery nice photos series.
ReplyDeleteEileen,
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying you Outer Banks photo, our neck of the woods. The coolest time I have had with pelicans is having them dive bomb for food near my sea kayak at Cape Lookout!
wow ...nice photos
ReplyDeletehappy watery wednesday
Wow!!It is so great!!!)))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shoots)))))))))))))))
Yes, I agree about the allure of the prehistoric look of these interesting birds.
ReplyDeleteThey still enjoy the water even if it's rough.

You are right, Pelicans have existed for a very long time ago.
ReplyDeletepelikans are fun looking birds.
ReplyDeleteBut, to be honest, today I was captured by the new header of yours. It is stunning. :)
I've never seen a real live pelican before! It is cool to see them here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting them!
Great shots. That is one BIG beak- plenty of room to hide a fish.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the pelicans!
ReplyDeleteYes, pelicans do look pre- historic. I enjoyed looking at your shots.
ReplyDeletePelican do look pre-historic. It looks like they had fun in the water. Thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteWatery Wednesday
I saw some pelicans too yesterday. Of course I was at Sea World at the time...
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, I love to watch pelicans, they are so comical!
ReplyDeleteThe more pelicans I see, the more fascinated with them I become. They are such interesting birds, and you have captured them beautifully. I love your header, too.
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoy watching the pelicans. I like the way they skim over the water. I like that header, great capture.
ReplyDeleteI love to sit on the beach and watch the pelicans dive for their dinner :)
ReplyDeleteAny idea what's happened to Worldless Wednesday? Shame if the owner has given up :(

Wow, beautiful shots of the pelicans. Happy Watery Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Eileen!! We loved the Outer Banks when we visited this past summer. Hated to leave!
ReplyDeletei have never seen a real pelican up close. lovely creatures.
ReplyDeletebtw, your header photo is gorgeous!
Great shots! Pelicans are really fun looking birds, we don´t have them here in Sweden but I've seen them in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteTerrific captures of the birds and the rough waters! Actually, they are one of my favorites to shot. They tend to sit still in time for my shutter to click.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday Pam.
Beautifully precise formation flying. Nice shot
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry Eileen, I meant to type your name but your blog was th e next tab to Pam's.

Nice shots of the Pelicans and sand dunes, Eileen. Two of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the special view.
The state bird of Louisiana is the pelican and our Charity School of Nursing pin has a pelican on it. I was horrified when, after my move to CA, there was a rash of incidents where someone was sawing off the bills of pelicans so that they could not fish for food. Such terrible cruelty!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful.
These are lovely shots! Pelicans are such fun birds.
ReplyDeleteI like your nature shots. It must have been wonderful watching them.
ReplyDeleteLove your pelican photos Eileen. Aren't they amazing birds? I don't get to see them very often but always enjoy watching them when I can.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I love the last one of the beach!
ReplyDeletegreat shots. amazing pelicans.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful captures, Eileen! I'm jealous of your blog header photo! :-D j/k That shot would look beautifully framed, in any room!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Thanks for your comments. It's always so nice to get them!
Ciao!
