Brown Pelican, La Jolla, CA

I go every year to La Jolla Cove to photograph Brown Pelicans and Cormorants in breeding plumage and am never disappointed. Of course there are also the pupping Harbor Seals, the hundreds of Sea Lions littering the rocks, and the gorgeous scenery of the cliffs and sea, so it would take a harder heart than mine to be disappointed in any day at La Jolla. 🙂 Pelicans are such strange birds. I saw several apparently stretching their pouches and finally caught one in the act. Strange. Very strange, is all I can say. Sony RX10iv at 600mm. Program mode. 1/640th @ f4 @ ISO 100. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos and assembled in FrameMagic.
