Not in the same topic, I snapped a pic last week at my favorite lunch spot. It is unusual to have three ships in the anchorage here in the north end of Penobscot Bay......At night I could see their lights from our house in Belfast.

"Hey dude... Your missing your legging band. How you going to get in to the party?"
Ok, Ok. I should give y’all more time but I just can’t hold back anymore. In keeping with @jssailem reminding me about a squadron of pelicans...

Over the Christmas Holidays we were anchored of Fort McRee near Pensacola. I was sitting in the cockpit minding my own business, reading my book when I was startled by a giant splash, like a bad of bricks hitting the water. I turned only to see a Pelican, nonchalant as you please, sitting in the center of a spreading circle of ripples.
A day later we took a photo of one of his cousins.

That’s actually better than “Attempted Murder.” I didn’t think it was possible!
White pelicans are dippers. You will see a flock of them swimming along and dipping their heads underwater at the same time. It's their way to catch breakfast. The Brown pelicans are dive bombers. From about 10-15 feet up, they will fold their wings and dive into the water. Successful Browns will tilt their heads back to wiggle breakfast into their stomachs. I've seen both kinds during the winter at Rockport, Texas.
A Pelican struts into a bar, the bartender sees it approach and says, “Why the long face”?

Pelicans, one of my favorite subjects for photos. Mainly, because there's so many of them around here.
