82. Brown and White Pelican - June 2009

Haven't seen a pelican in such a long time I was shocked by just how big they are. Saw these guys down on Pier 39 in SF, hanging out with the Sea Lions.

81. Snowy Egret - June 2009

Saw this beauty in San Francisco. Gorgeous. It has black legs and cool yellow feet.

80. Killdeer - June 2009

I don't really like these birds. Don't know why. Maybe it's because they remind me of plovers. Anyway, saw a couple of these guys in the lake at San Francisco. A muddy, dirty, polluted lake. Figures.

79. Double Crested Cormorant - June 2009





















My trip to San Francisco was very lucrative. Saw many of these big fellas cruising around just off shore on the beaches between Fisherman's Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge. They were very bright orange around the beak, and looked really big and strong. One guy was cruising around using his feet to paddle. He had his wings up in the air to dry them.
