Off the Boat...and Doing "The Throat"

Our last full day in Florida before heading home for the frozen tundra of Michigan, which is 1250 miles away. (My butt is tired just thinking about it.)

I didn't have a lot of pelicans to pick from, but this guy let me creep up to within 6-7 feet of him. In the extras are two more pictures of the peli model, and a fly-by (into the sun) egret.

I always miss the greenery and the color of Florida, in addition to the weather and my shorebirds. But...it be time to go home.
