Pelican searches bedtime snack

Sundown, the food is harder to spot from above. A pelican resort to solitary skimming of the tops of the wavelets in a sm0oth, long glide, looking for that last tasty fish. A full belly makes the dark night seem cozier. This shot is out on the Lake Ponchartrain lakefront of New Orleans.
