Look, up in the Sky

Pelicans on Patrol
Juno Beach, FL

 This is a fun time of year to keep an eye on the sky. The pelicans are gathering in squadrons. Big squadrons! 

Sometimes they fly low over the water; between the waves looking for their next meal. More often though, they are flying together in the sky. Of course, there is often one pelican sitting on a piling in a marina showing off. 

Osprey with Fish

We also enjoy watching the ospreys hunt. They fly deliberately and often dive for fish in the ocean. That is exciting, but hard to capture on camera. One of my best was a few years ago when I imaged an osprey coming out of the ocean with a fish in its talons. They truly are magnificent birds. 

Something to scan the sky for.
