Coquimbo Chile is a marine bird paradise!
It is home to the impressive Peruvian Pelican.
Peruvian Pelicans are twice the size of their northern cousins and stand up to five feet tall!
They somehow manage to look individually comical,
but sober as judges in a group.
These beauties were photographed in Coquimbo Chile, and on the Palomino and Ballestas Islands off the coast of Peru.
Cheers to you from the pretty as a picture Peruvian pelis~

Gorgeous! Thank you!
Thank you more for your kind appreciation!
Once again, these are beautiful photographs! Thank you, Cindy!
Thank you more Charles. We live in a profoundly beautiful world. It seems it’s up to us to not ruin it even more than we have.
Beautiful, both the birds and the boats! 🙂
Yep. Birds and boats, fisherman and creatures. It is an old relationship, There are so many more photos I have of these true fisherman, who go out in their tiny pangas, and brave the sea. They have relationships, which I have photographed, with gigantic sea lions, and all the crying birds, to whom they toss fish.
BIG birds. Oh, my. Sober as judges. Heh. I was thinking that they look very dignified like Pastors of a church.
And, those colorful boats! Wow!
Yes, in a group, they look humans comfortable with passing judgement.
Great Pics, beautiful pelicans. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Gary and be weill.
Other than their colorful beaks, they look just like our Florida browns, except, as you said, much larger. Happy Sunday, Cuz 😊……. 💚
Happy Sunday to you cuz & enjoy the sunshine! (I know you are).
🙂
I was just thinking tonight, “where in the world is Cindy”? I see Peru is the host and perhaps you’re been held hostage by Pelicans, ha! At 5′ tall, they’re nearly as tall as me. Cranky, that’s one big bird! Cheers dear x K
At this momentito in X. I am ensconced at The Holler, watching the barn owlets leave their box. These photos are from our March trip. I always have more photos than trip! Hugs to you sweet friend <3
There’s no place like home. Judy said it first and I usually tend to agree ! <3
And Toto 2 <3
Wow! Five feet tall? They are exquisite birds. Thank you, Cindy!
Thank you more for appreciating the pelis <3
😍
I can’t help wondering why they all stand around with their heads tucked, Cindy. “Sober as judges,” indeed! But at least it looks like they all went to the same grooming salon, ha!
Just like judges in their identical robes….. My brother’s a judge. I should stop this line of discussion 😉
😉
There is a marvelous feeling that comes when you are next to the ocean. The sounds of birds, wind and voice come together. Exquisite photos, Cindy.
Hugs to you Rebecca <3
Nice looking birds. They don’t seem friendly. But at 5 feet tall, they don’t have to be. lol
They are definitely not looking for hugs!
Beautiful birds!
Cindy, you are moving around the World faster than I’m reading your posts. 😀
Laughing….I am home now. These photos were from our March trip. I always have more photos than trip, so I often post more photos after I have returned home. Cheers to you Alexander~
I do the same. However you travel a lot.
Wow, besides the length of their beaks, I didn’t know they’re almost as tall as me. lol. Beautiful as always. <3
They only get this big when you start moving far south… Thanks for your kind words and cheers to you!
<3
Beautiful as always!
Muchisimas Gracias!
How magnificent are these Majestic birds… Beautiful images Cindy
I’m in love!!!!!
thats the best looking pelican I’ve seen Cindy! Funny how we attribute importance of a animal by its appearance.
Great study!
It is rather shallow isn’t it. We do it on both ends. The naked mole rat got a lot of attention for being unattractive. I think it’s Chaucer’s fault. He started the whole looks reflect character trend 😉
I suspect he was the first to write about it officially but was simply reflecting what people had already been thinking about.
Ya,those mole rats certainly weren’t around when good looks were being handed out!
Did you say 5 feet tall?? Yikes! They are remarkable-looking birds.
Aren’t they striking creatures! Thankfully they are friendly too.
Wow … twice the size as our pelicans? Now that’s a big bird!
Yep, you don’t want to make them mad. They want some fish? Best to give them some <3
Holy Hannah — I didn’t know there were any pelicans that tall! It must be intimidating when they drop in for a visit. Captivating photos, Cindy. Thanks for sharing them. Hugs on the wing!
Hugs to you sweet lady & cheers too <3
Birds are strange!
You are doing well with your newer Sony. What a surprise.
You are a wonderful person.
🙂
They are. But we can take heart, knowing humans are the strangest critters of all.
Be well John.
We had to invent words for our strangeness.
We did!!!
Up to five feet tall? That fact AND your colorful photos definitely impressive, Cindy
Thank you Ruth & cheers to you <3
Coucou toi belle CINDY
Je viens déposer
Le soleil dans ton coeur
Ma douceur dans ton âme
Un ciel étoilé dans ton regard
Lorsque ton coeur
Parlera à mon coeur
Nos âmes brûleront ,d’une douce chaleur
Lorsque je viens te rendre visite
Il me semble que je prends ta main
Afin d’être unis d’une grande amitié Céleste
Agréable journée ou soirée belle semaine
Gros bisous Bernard

Merci beaucoup Bernard~
it’s worth posting. Thanks

Fantastic pictures! 💕
They look very sober and well-behaved kind!! But 5 feel tall?? That’s almost like humans!! 😳
They can, and do, look you directly in the eye!
Some look as if they are just cleaned from oil. i would put them with other animals on pintarest
Absolutely gorgeous! These photos look like they belong in a National Geographic magazine or something of that sort. Stunning what you’ve captured. ♥

Lovely to meet you as well, Cindy. Have a wonderful day! ♥

Not kind, I speak the truth. Lovely. You have a talent. xx
Wow, a five foot bird! So many birds of different shape, size and colors. You do a great job of such beautiful variety of them.
Thank you John. We both love our feathered friends!
