great shot - I love the texture in their feathers... I don't think I've seen pink ones before. Was this at a zoo or near the sea?
funny this is the second Pelican photo I've come across on the photoblog community today - the other is here

Great closeup! The focus is dead on that first pelican.

I have never seen pink Pelicans. I wonder if they are native to a certain part of the world. I like the look you captured.

For everyone´s information: there are no pelicans in Germany ;)
These were shot at the famous Hagenbeck Animal Park in Hamburg.
There are all sort of pelicans, white, grey, black, pink... those are so far the ones I have seen maybe there are other colours. Unfortunately, cannot recall from which area they were originally.
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
