Picture of the Day - 3/15/2011

Pelicans in Flight, Boca Chico Beach, TX - Sheila and I spent the morning at Boca Chica Beach, the southernmost beach in Texas and just across the Rio Grande from Mexico. It's possible to drive your car out along the beach there and the few people there were usually fishing. While Sheila collected seashells, I walked Foxie and photographed the brown pelicans and other seabirds in the area. The pelicans typically fly in long lines parallel to the shore. Settings: ISO 400, 1/4000 second at f8, 28-300mm lens handheld.
