Here it looked as though they were all showing me their best side at once, so I could snap their group portrait! ;o)

Some adjustments made using PS CS - Brightness & Contrast, Saturation & Lightness, Shadow-Highlight, Unsharp Mask, & an application of Ink Outlines filter... Taken mid-afternoon in early spring, on 13 September 2003 - 1/1000 sec @ f3.5, ISO 64, & 38mm equivalent focal length...

Suzy, Jill, Claudia, Jeff, and Paul M - thanks for all your encouraging feedback on this image!! I appreciate your time...and your kind words!! The way these birds were moving around, seemingly in unison at times, really did make them appear to be performing a special pelican ballet - lol!! ;o) It was quite something to watch!! :o) #3707436
