They have the perfect vantage spot there, can look up & down the river, while keeping an eye on the boat ramp where fish often get cleaned. #8523226

What a great photo, Chris! What a smart bird, too. That spot would be nice and cozy warm in the evenings with the light on! :)

Great job!

The pelicans around this area like to 'roost' on the street lights, too, Chris!! ;o) Superb capture of this one 'ruling the roost'...and your other image also is great, showing just how high up they sit!! :o)

Just a thought - maybe you could crop this image more up to/near the edge of the light pole on the left, and also take some of the sky off the top? That way (IMHO) I think the roosting pelican would have even more impact in your image!! :o) What do you think, Chris? #8542509

That is funny! I've never seen such a big bird on a light post before!

Great shot (and find) Chris! #8543101
