Brown Pelican – Rubbing/Scratching Its Head
That had to feel good!
Out of that series, I’m sharing one of the photos again with a closer crop. It deserved a caption…..
“Good Grief”
I’m sure there’s more captions perfect for this silly shot!

Great captures, Donna! He’s quite the contortionist! 🥰
Thank you, John, quite so! 😊
An amazing series…quite a lot of fun. (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne!
Last photo: “What are you looking at? Give me a hand!”
Great one!
Haha… 😀 You won’t leave any moment!
Great one, Indira!
Fantastic pictures! My what moves that bird made, just to scratch an itch. I’m almost surprised he didn’t lift a foot to do the scratching, as I have seen so many herons and egrets do. I guess the feet aren’t long enough?? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I think it was just a good ole, that feels good, nuzzling. 🙂
“Oy, such a headache I have!” 😉
I clicked through the photos quickly and it was like a movie. 🙂 Pretty neat!
Great one, Eliza! Glad to hear clicking the series worked great! 🙂
Terrific, Donna. 😁
Thank you, Imorgana! 😊
Beautiful
Thank you!
😘😘😘
Fantastic captures, Donna! Who knew Brown Pelicans were so well-equipped? I know a lot of birds who are envious. 🙂
Thank you, Lisa! Really! S/he was quite entertaining, almost showing off I think. There was a water canal between us. 🙂
LOL! Fun series of images and moments in time.
Thank you, Deborah!
Very nice!
Thank you, Belinda!
All are excellent photos, Donna! Super sharp and perfect color.
Of course, the guy reminded me of myself, after I eat an icy “slurpy” too fast! 🙂
Thank you, HJ! Yes, ‘Ooohhhh, Brain Freeze’, that’s a great caption! 🙂
Excellent series, Donna! The Brown Pelicans are very entertaining and I think you nailed it with “Good Grief.”
Thank you, Ellen! Isn’t it great when we shoot a series and then find a ‘priceless’ one in the mix?!! 🙂
Oh, yes! 🙂
Great shots.
Thank you, Tom!
Wonderful shots, Donna! 🙂
Thank you, Tom!
What an unusual way of scratching one’s head Donna, it does give some interesting images.
Thank you, Ashley!
Oh, this is precious! Thank you so much for making my morning❤️
Wishing you and all your loved ones a safe and happy weekend ahead.
Thank you, Takami! We all know how good a head rub feels, lol. 🙂 Best to you and yours this holiday weekend too!
❤️❤️
Excellent series of photos Donna, I had a good laugh. That second shot with the pelican’s face is priceless! 😀
Thank you, Sue! I love catching a personality look with birds! 😊
Heh. “I can’t REACH IT!”
😅😂😂 and Garfield had arms and legs!
I’d thought you’d enjoy a revisit.
Donna, you possess the patience of Job to capture these amazing shots. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! After 10 years of photographing them, the birds have taught me patience, which was something I needed to learn. I think egrets and herons can out-patience me though! 🙂
I love pelicans! They are such gorgeous birds.These are very good photos. 💗
Thank you, Tanja!
Yet another fun series! Some good yoga moves perhaps?
Thank you, Gunta! Is there such a thing as neck yoga? 😉
Caption game is on point Donna. I like seeing wildlife through your eyes. The last picture of the pelican is so relatable.
Thank you! My photos are hopes that others love and enjoy nature as it was meant to be. 😊
Amazed! I’m new to blogging and recently posted on Harry potter, so if you are a potterhead, you might just check it out once! ☺️
