Pelican Birthday 1 Card

Soaring through a light blue sky, these four Brown Pelicans are fishing just offshore at Ocean Shores, WA. Their huge wings extended, three birds swoop toward the camera wings tilted at different angles, at the right of the photograph They are crossing a small, white cloud. The fourth is a bit off to the left of the group. The observer can see a webbed foot here and there sticking out from a squat body, and their characteristic long, light-coloured beak sticking straight down as they scan the water for fish. The words, "Happy Birthday!" are written in black script at the top of the image. Copyright Gail Storrs 2011.
