I took this shot a couple months ago and I keep coming back to it. It reminded me of something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I finally just realized that the space under the egret’s neck reminds me of the eye of sewing needle!

Contrast || Having grown up in New Jersey, I didn’t see pelicans until I visited southern Florida as a young girl. I remember being captivated by how the brown pelicans would dive from the air into the water for fish. Ever since I saw my first brown pelican, pelicans have been my favorite bird. I’ve also always associated pelicans with warm weather. So even though I spent 3.5 days in -6 degree Celsius weather on Lake Kerkini photographing pelicans, it still strikes me as odd to see snow capped mountains and pelicans together. I love the contrast though! ___________________________________ #greece #lakekerkini #dalmatianpelicans #pelicans #nuts_about_birds #wildlife_perfection #capturethewild #igscwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #featured_wildlife #eye_spy_birds #femalenaturephotographycom #pocket_birds #bird_brilliance #pelicanfriday #nature_seekers #birdstagram #girlsgoneglobal #featherperfection #ig_birds #kings_birds #thetweetsuites #birdlovers @natgeowild @natgeotravel #girlswhotravel #exclusive_wildlife @wildlifeplanet #marvelous_shots #live_love_wildlife (at Lake Kerkini)

Bath Time || Caye Caulker, Belize. I’ve been posting a lot of Dalmatian Pelican photos lately. So, today, I thought I’d change it up a bit with a fun photo of a Brown Pelican splashing during “bath time”. _________________________________ #belize #cayecaulker #birdstagram #pelican #nikonnofilter #nuts_about_birds #wildlife_perfection #capturethewild #igscwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #featured_wildlife #eye_spy_birds #femalenaturephotographycom #pocket_birds #bird_brilliance #tlpicks #nature_seekers #birdstagram #girlsgoneglobal #iguanareefinn #toloveandprotectbelize #featherperfection #ig_birds #kings_birds #thetweetsuites #birdlovers #girlswhotravel #exclusive_wildlife @natgeowild @nikonusa @natgeotravel @bbcearth @bbc_travel @wildlifeplanet (at Iguana Reef Inn, Caye Caulker Belize)

Photo Bomb! || Lake Kerkini, Greece. I was tracking the Dalmatian Pelican in the middle when the pelican on the right photo bombed my pre-landing shot. I think it turned out as a pretty good frame though. Gotta roll with the punches sometimes. 😊 _________________________________ #greece #lakekerkini #dalmatianpelicans #pelicans #nuts_about_birds #wildlife_perfection #capturethewild #igscwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #featured_wildlife #eye_spy_birds #femalenaturephotographycom #pocket_birds #bird_brilliance #pelicanfriday #nature_seekers #birdstagram #girlsgoneglobal #featherperfection #ig_birds #kings_birds #thetweetsuites #birdlovers @natgeowild @natgeotravel #girlswhotravel #exclusive_wildlife @wildlifeplanet #visitgreece #live_love_wildlife (at Lake Kerkini)

Going for It || A Dalmatian Pelican flies up in the hopes of catching a fish. In the background immediately below the pelican is an island on which the pelicans roost.

Who will make the lucky catch? || Lake Kerkini, Greece.

Skimming || Look closely - this Dalmatian Pelican is skimming the water of Lake Kerkini, Greece with one of its feathers. I decided to get away from color in this photo and opted for a creamtone black and white edit.

Smug || This Dalmatian Pelican on Lake Kerkini, Greece is looking particularly smug, probably because I had my big ole lens pointed at it. 😊 Anyway, if you know me (or have been following my feed for any length of time), you know that pelicans are my favorite bird. And you should also know by now that I love pelican “head shots.” So it was only a matter of time until I posted a head shot of my new favorite pelican - the Dalmatian Pelican. I captured this shot with my backup camera - a Nikon D5500 (cropped sensor) - along with a Sigma 120-300 mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. Needless to say I was intent on getting a close head shot! _________________________________ #greece #lakekerkini #dalmatianpelicans #pelicans #nuts_about_birds #wildlife_perfection #capturethewild #igscwildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #featured_wildlife #eye_spy_birds #femalenaturephotographycom #pocket_birds #bird_brilliance #pelicanfriday #nature_seekers #birdstagram #girlsgoneglobal #featherperfection #ig_birds #kings_birds #thetweetsuites #birdlovers @natgeowild @natgeotravel #girlswhotravel #exclusive_wildlife @wildlifeplanet #visitgreece #live_love_wildlife (at Lake Kerkini)

Splash! || Dalmatian Pelicans lunging for a fish thrown to them on Lake Kerkini, Greece.

Anthim || A Dalmatian Pelican called Anthim on Lake Kerkini, Greece. Of all the Dalmatian Pelicans on Lake Kerkini, Anthim may be the friendliest of the bunch. Anthim is generally the first to perch on the boat bow and then side shuffle down the rim of the boat in the hope of being rewarded with fish. In fact, I captured this black & white infrared portrait while Anthim sat on the boat’s bow. Have you ever seen a more gorgeous bird? 💗 ____________________________________ #lakekerkini #greece #dalmationpelican #pelicans #lifepixel #creativeir #wildlife_perfection #majestic_wildlife_ #live_love_wildlife #ig_discover_wildlife #birdsofinstagram #your_best_birds #bnw_planet_2018 #femalenaturephotographycom #pocket_birds #featured_wildlife #bird_brilliance #pelicanfriday #bbcnature #birdstagram #infrared #infinity_infrared #bnw_captures #bnw_life #infrared_world #kings_birds #thetweetsuites @natgeowild @lifepixelinfrared @bnw_planet @bnw_captures @bnw_drama #bnw_drama #capturethewild #marvelouz_animals (at Lake Kerkini)
