info

I had two, but very fruitful meetings with the brown pelican in Costa Rica. One took place on the coast situated to the Pacific side. Majority of presented images was formed there. Second, at the river estuary, not so fruitful, but the cormorants that could be seen gathering in the trees at sunset, what is more, in a company of an osprey, this is something worth seeing. Maybe the light a little too intense during the first session, but pelicans sitting at the seashore allowed me to come really close and shoot many images, including those dynamic in flight. So many photos, it was plenty to choose from, especially since I photographed both young and adults. There were neotropic cormorants in their company. Brown cormorant occurs in North America, through Central to South. It can weigh up to 3.5 kilograms and its wingspan can reach 2 meters.
