We’re packing up for a move to the Northwest. It will be a year-plus endeavor — a relocation based on pragmatic considerations. I’ve been a Californian for the better part of 20 years, so the best way to embrace a transition across state lines is to see my future there as a photographic adventure. That part is undeniably alluring. Orcas come to mind.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, as I’m busy packing boxes, injuring and hobbling my foot, losing car keys in wetlands, and generally making this move more difficult than it should be — I’m also sorting through and backing up my old photos. Many of the birds I’ve photographed here do migrate up the coast to where we’ll be, in Seattle.<\/p>\n

For some animals, I’ll have to drive just a bit farther to grab some shots . . . like Brown Pelicans. So, my first farewell post to California is all about them. I customized my ATM card with one of my pelican-on-the-bay shots, to keep me visually tied to home.<\/p>\n

These are some of my favorite Brown Pelican images, snapped over the past few years on San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n
