Another morning at the Great Bridge Locks


A day of Pelicans

Brown Pelican

I had such a great time the week before, that I went back to the Great Bridge Locks again. Once again, I headed out with my Nikon Z9 and the Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5–5.6 S lens, hoping to catch the local birdlife—and once again, the Locks didn’t disappoint.

I arrived about 45 minutes earlier than the previous week and started at the boat ramp. The Brown Pelicans were still there. Probably numbered around 100 or so. And they were busy.

While I saw some eagles, none of them were close enough to get any get images. So I decided to just stick to photographing the pelicans. I ended my morning capturing this Brown Pelican flying low over the water. Love this shot!

All in all, it was another great morning at the Great Bridge Locks. Looking forward to my next trip there.
