Wings glide across the open tide.
Feathers brush against the rising spray.
Water ripples beneath the quiet air.
Moments drift across the open bay.
Silence holds the breath of nature.

This Pelican seems remarkably calm because it was only a 2x zoom.

A brown pelican perched on a wooden pier railing overlooking the sea in San Diego. Facing the camera, it has its long pale bill pointing downwards and both brown-feathered wings raised awkwardly behind its body. Grey-blue water stretches to a hazy horizon beneath a pale sky.

Ocean breezes carry a quiet song.
Feathers follow the rhythm of the tide.
Water and sky blend into one.
Beauty drifts beyond the horizon.
A serene passage across nature's canvas.

#RecycledPhotos for the 3rd submission, I thought a different finish would be a nice change. The #BrownPelican was from the bridge at #BolsaChicaWetlands a few years back. One is a #charcoalsketch with 50 color retained and the other is #gouache finish. #Art #BirdArt

The river carried silent wings.
Each current whispered quiet wonder.
The horizon welcomed boundless dreams.
Wonder gathered along the journey.
Let nature write its story within you.

Brown Pelican

Soft motion carries quiet wonder.
Gentle air moves through open space.
Feathered calm drifts above still earth.
Warm breath of nature holds tender rhythm.
Inspiration rises from quiet beauty.

Two #heermangulls are swimming with a #brownpelican, waiting for a free meal. Water needs to be drained from the Pelican’s pouch before swallowing. The gulls stay close to take advantage and attack during draining to steal the fish. (OC) #bird #birding #birdfacts

"A brown pelican sweeps across the frame from right to left, its wings stretched wide and steady as it glides just above the rippling ocean surface. The bird’s long body is angled slightly downward, giving the impression of effortless, low‑flying precision. Its feathers — a mix of soft browns, charcoal grays, and pale highlights — catch the light in layered patterns that show every contour of its wings. The pelican’s beak, long and unmistakably heavy, points forward like a compass needle guiding its flight. Beneath it, the water shifts in gentle waves, each ripple reflecting muted blues and silvers. Rising from the sea is a tall timber pile, weathered and dark, standing like a lone sentinel. The pelican passes it with calm authority, wings barely moving, as if the ocean air itself is carrying it along. The whole scene feels quiet and purposeful — a single bird navigating its world with grace, strength, and an easy confidence earned from a lifetime spent skimming the water’s surface." - Microsoft Copilot

Like a seasoned pilot on final approach, a Brown Pelican banks sharply right before lining up for a smooth touchdown along the shores of Banderas Bay in Nuevo Nayarit.

Taking a morning dip into the Florida files with another fun frame from an afternoon at Venice Beach. It's quite awe-inspiring to see the strikingly intense focus as hunters from the air stay locked onto their targets!
