Summary
| Description |
I've seen Pelicans sitting atop a piling, panhandling at a fishing pier, or gliding above the surf but sitting in a tree is a first for me! We were walking down the Malecon when we crossed over the Rio Cuale (Cuale River) which flows out to the sea when I saw this fellow. Now I've seen a lot of Pelicans in a lot of different ports but I can honestly say this is the first one I've ever seen sitting in a tree. Pelicans have webbed feet which really aren't conducive to sitting on a branch, just ask any duck! I\'m assuming this is a Mexican Brown Pelican just because of the color and location. Hopefully some of the hardcore birders like [/photos/jimfrazier/ Jim Frazier] and [/photos/toddkeith533/ toddkeith533] will chime in and regale us with all the details! I don't take bird shots, they're really not my bag man, so I'm not exactly sure how they should be cropped. If you take bird shots, how do you do it when they're sitting like this. Do you zoom in tight and make the bird the focus or do you leave some of the foliage to establish a setting for the bird? Online opinions go from one extreme to the other so I thought I'd ask some folks who really do take bird shots! |
