The brown pelican, up close
Resting on the morning swell, flapping up into the bright sky, then diving until the scene turns under the water.
A large pelican rests close to the viewer on a morning swell. It flaps up across the pale sky, folds its wings, and dives. The view drops below the surface, where fish scatter, the bill snaps shut, and the pelican rises with its catch.
