While on vacation back in July 06 we traveled up the coast from California to Oregon. Then when staying in Newport, Oregon where I caught this pelican gliding up the coastline. Notice the landing gear is up for less drag lol..

Thanks very much Vicky, Carol, Beverly, Anne, Golda, Steve, and Marsha for all your wonderful comments. I hear ya Marsha about there landings, they just don't do very well lol.. Hey Steve, they do look like a small pterodactyls. Vicky, this one was the leader of a line of five or so. Thanks again everyone for your comments :-)

Great photo of the pelican. I used to love watching them in California. They glide so gracefully, but when they land in the water it looks like a crash landing. Lots of fun to watch.

Great picture, bubbalin - I had not noticed before what a sharp head the pelican has!! And this one seems to just glide through the air. I am so glad I got to see it. thanks.
