These wierd ungainly birds have a fair bit of personality. This one was rather snappy, didn't appreciate how close I got. I was well within striking distance from its enormous bill, and had to duck a couple of times.

Really nice shot of that pelican. Did you use an additional zoom lens to get such a close zoom?
