Elkhorn Slough - Part 3

Even more images from Elkhorn Slough.


This juvenile pelican looks like he isn't sure what to do with his neck and bill.



As the boat got too close, the pelicans at the near edge of this large flock took off.



This landing pelican almost appears to be leading a choir.



These elegant Terns were neatly lined up on these old pilings.



Cormorant washing its tail feathers



This seal appears to be sticking out his tongue at us.



More sea otters just hanging out




Duck just taking off or landing.



Another pelican in flight



Cormorants ignoring each other



Getting the "pelican stare"



American Avocets
 



A Godwit



A nearly fully grown otter pup nursing with his mother.
