Gotta love Pelicans, they remind me of a Catalina Flying Boat.

They are fascinating birds Keith. I hadn’t made the connection to the Catalina before. Thanks.

Wonderful subject to get in flight Alan, classic work from a gun tog.

[wigz]

Thanks Isac, but sometimes the birds just seem to cooperate.

[Isac]

They sure do Alan and Pelicans are really good at it. I wish I could get the black cockatoos to do that in their morning flyover, but I'm a patient fellow.
