“Solitude” (Newport Beach, CA)
Hello All! My daughter and I spotted this guy a few weeks ago. He was huge! And he (or she) was totally un-phased when we began to approach for a closer look to admire its beauty. My daughter got pretty close, and then the bird pooped. It was pretty funny. (Luckily, the poop did not land on my 19-month old little girl.) Then, my daughter said “No, bird.” She let him know that pooping on her was not cool. haha. Please enjoy these photos. Have a great day!

Haha, the story is amazing. Since I met your lovely daughter I an imagine her very well with this bird. I love pelicans. I am always surprised how close we can come withouth them caring.

Out of the mouths of babes– very sweet. Nineteen months is a great age. My granddaughter is sixteen months. Don’t let the “grand” fool you. Her father (my stepson) is only ten years younger than me, so I’m not really Granny age… yet. LOL She calls me Nonni instead of Nana. At least that’s the plan. BTW, what kind of bird is that first one?

ha! I was confused when you said “grand”. I am like “wow, she must be using a photo from many years ago.” haha. The first one is a pelican. It was really cool. Very big!

I love the birds but all your photos are great. What type of camera do you use?

Thank you! Believe it or not, I actually use my iPhone camera for a lot of the photos. I “zoom in” when I process the photo, as opposed to zooming in when I take the photo.
