Our main goal today was to photograph the gray pelican on the wing.
	It was a beautiful sunny day at La Jolla Cove.
	A gray pelican landing on the rock right above the sea cave.
	It is not easy to capture these birds on the wing. I used AI focus which constantly updates focus when shutter button is held 1/2 down. I used manual mode, high speed burst multi shooting 6 frames / second. It takes anticipation, concentration, and lots of shots to get a good one. 3/4's of the shots were trashed.
	A Royal Tern.
	A Heermann's gull.
	Richard Bledsoe with his Mark II Canon camera, canon 400mm F4 lense. A very knowledgeable birder, nature photographer, and photoshop user. I enjoyed his good advice on shooting the birds.
	My best shot during flight. It takes some practice to get these shots with a 400mm lense. Richard convinced me that manual mode using AI focus was the best settings for this endeaver.
	Heermann's Gull
	Nice wave.
	A California Gull.
