The Daily Dose – The sounds of their wings in the darkness!

A rare sight indeed!

The Everglades are for the birds!

One of the joys of spending quality time outdoors in the Everglades backcountry is seeing wildlife carry on unfettered outside the busy world of people. I once saw a whole flock of these White Pelicans gliding in the breezes above me in the moonlight. They flew silently in formations and circled overhead, with only the swoosh of their wings giving them away. I quickly setup to get this image and captured it with a fisheye lens pointed straight up, using a manually discharged flash. I was able to get about five shots, this is a composite of the action. The flash naturally startled them, but only for a split second. They all landed a short distance away on the flats and rested until dawn.
