Testing out my 150-600mm lens skills on the Pelican colony at the north end of the island. This shot was from the beach on the east side looking straight up as they swirl overhead. Yes its nesting season, hence the vegitation in the beak.

A trip to the Wild Encounters in Rockingham, WA. Dolphins, birds, penguins and other little creatures. There was a pod of dolphins riding the waves next to us as they called to each other. Seeing them this up close was crazy, they were extremely curious 🐬
