PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT by KAREN WILES
Photographing pelicans learning to fly is an amazing experience. There is something quiet comical about watching these little guys practice their incoming landings and dives."Practice Makes Perfect" is my most favorite of the hundreds of images I recently captured. This particular artwork displays their funny determination to hit the mark every time. With the greatest of details this makes for the perfect conversation coatal artwork for interior design. Pelicans are heavy birds, but thanks to air sacs in their bones - buoyancy is not a problem. They can fly to the height of 10 000 feet using the warm wind currents.
Webbed feet are used for swimming and diving. Pelicans will identify potential prey from the sky and catch it by accelerating toward it with great accuracy.
They are one of my favorite birds to photograph as I know they are sure to bring a smile and a chuckle to me every time!

Karen, this is a very cool in-flight capture of a pair of determined pelicans... great poses on both, and love their impressive wingspans and beautiful feathers in this inspiring image. Wonderful informative description, paired with the perfect title. Excellent, uplifting work! F/L
