Caught in the light

One of the Pelicans at the Calgary Zoo. They never seem to be still when I'm there, feeding constantly on the little stream that runs through their enclosure. This is the male (you can see the remnants of the breeding "bump" on his upper bill) and there are two females with him. We do see Pelicans in the wild, too, but I believe there have been fewer of them this summer.
