Default Pelican's elegant landing

The Pelican came in for an elegant landing. Almost looks like he is waterskiing.

I saw a number of these beautiful American Pelicans in several lakes today. Just gorgeous birds.

Thank you, alemorkam, for sharing your gift with us. Your photographs are wonderful.

(I can hear that pelican saying, "Yeah. I'm good. My friends call me Sully.")
