This was a very enjoyable outing even with the somewhat disappointing fuzzy results, I had a difficult time tracking the birds and locking focus. This is the first time I have seen Pelican's fishing. I never imagined that this is how they caught food. It was an amazing sight to watch and photograph them. Although my focusing technique needs improving I feel my timing was good and I captured some interesting images worth sharing. Location Surf Beach. Lompoc, California. June 3rd and 4th 2006.
On the 3rd there where about a thousand Pelicans in the area. The next day the number of birds was about half as many.
