Those shots are fantastic with all those birds lined up and bills in the air!
SvaraRaderaI love that video.
SvaraRaderaGreat captures of the Terns and the Pelican!
SvaraRaderaGreat photos.
SvaraRaderaThe Pelican eyeing his noisey neighbors is great.
SvaraRaderaLove that babysitting pelican! The begging tern really is making it impossible for the adult to forage for food. What a performance!
SvaraRaderaOOps, that'll teach me to read every word. Begging yes but for something else altogether.
SvaraRaderaSterling images, splendid, top notch and all of the best. Happy New Year~
SvaraRaderaSimply incredible compositions in these two pictures. Outstanding work! Coming here to NFBOCR is like opening a Christmas every week!
SvaraRaderaCheers to the new year!
I thought the same thing when I saw the thumb image with the pelican. But I would be careful if I were one of those terns, pelicans are totally capable of snapping up a smaller bird.
SvaraRaderaSuch cool shots -- love how the terns are all lined up, and its so cool to have the pelican at the end too!
SvaraRaderaglad u liked it :)
SvaraRaderaThat brown pelican is tall - like the kid in the class who towers over all the other kids.
SvaraRaderaLove your shots of the Royal Tern! I posted a Crested Tern this week.
SvaraRaderaoh my!!
SvaraRaderathese shots are wonderful
I love their vivid beaks and all the chaos of their gathering
Interesting...that little term was really trying to get that female's attention....Love the photos and the video clip...Thank you for linking to Nature Notes...Michelle
SvaraRaderaThe Royal Terns are amazing. I especially loike the first shot where they're all lined up on the railing. Also thanks for the video link, it was quite informative and amusing ;-)
SvaraRaderayour welcome Larry. :)
SvaraRaderaoh, great shot of all the terns
