Wings & Waves
I was so happy that there were a few birds out taking it easy on such a pretty day. I don't know what any of these birds are except the sea gulls. The minute I saw the big one it was all I could do not to run over because I knew it would send them flying. (Click on any picture for larger view).

It's a Brown Pelican and, I believe, a Western Gull you have there. Lovely shots!!
Good pictures. Jayne was right on the Pelicans - they are Brown Pelicans - immature ones. Their heads will turn yellowish in time and the dark parts even more so.
For the gulls I'd go with Herring Gulls as ID.
Well done!
Great composing and framing here! Love them...
Jayne & Klaus - The two of you are great! Thank you for identifying the birds. I would have thought pelicans only had the big pouch under their bills but I guess it does look like my other pics of the pelican. Thank you!
June - So glad you liked them. Thank you!
I still need to see just one of these. We get the White kind here :-) Lovely pics.
Nick S - Thank you. I had not seen these at all until recently... or maybe I just had not noticed.
Looks like you had a really great day getting some really great photos. Good for you!
