Deborah Cummings, Sunrise with the Pelicans (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

This day I spent the morning with about 6 pelicans. I stayed from the earliest daylight hour until just after sunrise. I just loved the way that the sun's rays played with their feathers and their beaks. I just couldn't believe my luck.
