Pelican captured in flight

I took a road trip up north to go fishing. Seeing these gorgeous pelicans on Lake Winnebago and on the Fox River was a nice surprise to watch. I took pictures with my new Canon Rebel camera which I am very happy with because it’s easy to use fast focus and a picture every time. People here were catching catfish and sheep head. Although they did not keep the sheep heads instead they were tossing them back at the birds and they were diving and catching the fish thrown with one gulp with their huge bills.

Not a good catch

A turtle…not a good catch.

We had to cut the line to let him go because he was not cooperating.

Then he got tangles and stuck so we had to scoop him up again and cut the line shorter.

He must have been over 8 pounds and around 14 inches long.

Don’t know my turtles but I was thinking it was a snapper.

This was all we caught today. Not a happy camper.
