Sometimes when the birds deny me the shot I want to take, they still give me a little something

Tech info - Nikon D500, Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6, ISO 400, 500mm, 1/2000 sec, f/8 shot from the driver's seat. ISO was high due to not checking my settings prior to shooting...

Wow! I LOVE this!!! They are so cool...'-}}

Is the "stuff' (for lack of a better term) just above the upper beak on the 2 leading birds, the pouch being blown by the wind?

Ah....no...thank you wikipedia which I checked to get the correct anatomy terminology. That "knob" (wiki article terminology) develops before the breeding season--a little flag for the lady pelicans...'-}}

Nice capture!! The D500/200-500 are a superb combo.

The 200-500 works a charm with the D500. I can't wait until airshows are a thing again and I can use that combo for the reason I picked it up lol...

I love how sharp of focus was used to catch the definitons of the birds! Amazing!
