FLYING "FISH"

Uploaded: March 13, 2013

Description

Seems the fella cleaning the fish decided to flip several carcasses to the pelican in quick succession. I just happen to pick one up while following the gulls harassing the pelican who claimed an earlier one.

BTW no MORE BOOT just a small elastic sleeve & advice to take it slow till my range of motion is back
OH HAPPY DAY !!!!!

That is a risky photo op. Zbirds get real serious about the free throws.
