Pelican pal does bridge bonding

This is one of the friendly pelicans that coast along the Causeway bridge over Lake Pontchartrain looking for food as they take advantage of the breeze blowing up over the bridge.

You would thing that at 65 mph it would be hard to shoot one of these guys. Well, it is. I had to shoot several of them before I got one I even partly liked. But, since he's going the same way with us, that means we were just passing him up about 35 mph.

Still, you have to have a steady hand, shoot rapid fire and have a lot of luck.

Great action shot, they are hard to shoot at that speed.

Driving and shooting? It is a neat look at a Pelican.
