I see Snowy’s in swamps and marshes all the time. When I spot one at the ocean it just looks out of place.
So of course I took a few shots.

In Flight, Brown Pelican
This was a slow easy target, mine to screw up.
I didn’t (but could have).
Floating By Shore, Brown Pelican
I think I have photographed enough Pelicans now…
No one ever said.
Hard To Miss, Oystercatcher
I guess they don’t need to blend in to their surroundings. They obviously don’t.
The bright orange beak and ruby red eyes are like neon signs out there.
American Oystercatcher, coastal South Carolina.
Classic Pose, Pelican
If they are not sitting in a boats rigging, they’re perched on a piling.
Low Fly By, Pelican
The background was not too ‘busy’ so it worked out to be a B&W shot.
Low Fly By, Pelican
Along The Shore, Brown Pelican
Almost standing here. The tide was going out.
TakeOff, Pelican
I need to be positioned with a wide, unobstructed, field of view for a Pelican takeoff. They run/skip across the surface to get some momentum going.
I did get part of it here. A rocking boat didn’t help.
