Brown Pelican at Sunset

A pair of Brown Pelicans were doing a wonderful job of filling their pouches with tiny minnows as the tide was running quickly through this inlet. The sun was nearing the horizon at the end of the day and my client and I laid on the shoreline watching these birds catch huge amounts of fish over and over again. They kept swimming back and forth in this same area so it gave a lot of opportunity to get just the right silhouette.
