An American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) opens his bill wide and scoops up a rainbow trout in a Northern California lake.

Unlike Brown Pelicans who dive bomb to catch fish, American White Pelicans cruise around on the water and scoop them up. These pelicans often work collectively to round up the fish and drive them toward shore where it's easier pickings.

I'm a native coastal Californian transplanted to the foothills of the Cascades. Being near the mountains has afforded me the opportunity to become attuned to seasonal rhythms and infuse that sense of time and place into my nature photography. I love to take off on roads less traveled, especially when it means losing myself in some remote place until I feel like being found. My portfolio includes natural landscapes, wildlife portraits, botanical macros, vintage architecture, cool geological formations, ranch life and a sprinkling of eccentric oddities that captured my imagination. I invite you to take a moment to peruse my galleries and follow me on Twitter: @EclecticImages. I hope you'll find something that makes you smile! .
