It’s summer time, so kids all go to the beach around here.
Just A Few Kids At The Beach, Pelicans

Brown Pelican, Sand Bar
Taking off from a rookery. Part of this island has been built up with sand dredged from the Charleston Harbor.
Hurricanes change the shoreline here each year and many of the low Keys are lost.
Thousands More…
A continuation of the ‘Thousands’ (click here to view) article published yesterday.
I’m sure I could not explain the vast numbers of Pelicans, and others, here. I did my best to get an angle photograph. Being on a small boat the options were limited.

Signs warn people the island is restricted. But really, where could you go ashore?
Thousands
I don’t see how you could even guess how many Pelicans are here. Add the nesting Gulls, Herons, Egrets, etc. it’s impossible.
This is the eastern tip of the key.
Best viewed large.
Found A Few Pelicans…
… a few thousand Pelicans.
At Bird Key, coastal South Carolina.
Pelican, Eye To Eye
Like most people up north I have always been totally fascinated by Pelicans. They symbolized bright beaches, surf, even the sound and smell of the ocean.
Now, even when they fly by and look at me it hasn’t changed. Not one bit.
Pelicans At Sunset
Each evening flocks of Brown Pelican make the nightly migration to a safe roost.
Here this can be one of the small islands or beaches.
Early evening you can always count on watching them over the surf.
Swamp To Shore, Pelican
In the Lowcountry we are blessed with having the ability to photograph marshlands, swamps, and the shore. It’s all right here.
The other day it was a time for shore, Pelicans, and shrimpers.
The Brown Pelicans didn’t disappoint. Prehistoric, but oh so agile.
Taken at my usual Pelican spot, on the shrimp boat pier. I can stand there and take my pick of fly by shots.
If I don’t get a few good ones it’s nobody’s fault but mine.
