For 1/640th of a second, the fish thought it might still escape...

Another pelican; they are almost all I have photographed lately.

Zoom lenses aren't near as sharp as fixed focus, but when a pelican takes off almost directly below me, it would have been handy to be able to zoom out. So far, my best shot at a pelican, and it was ruined by me having too good a lens. If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

... only slightly enhanced. ;)

That's what I keep thinking when I see these birds flying, and even more when they dive for fish.

Pelican taking off to go look for its next snack.

Once when we were kids two of my cousins dared each other to swallow whole anchovies. They would have got away with it if one of them hadn't gotten the fish stuck in his throat and almost choked. Somehow I don't think pelicans would have such troubles.
