Great shot of the teals, in fact a number of the images posted on this thread are very good. Here is one of my better flight images of ducks (White-faced in this example):

Very nice!
Brown Pelicans
I've got one....
Pelicans are cool!
Another Brown Pelican.
Nice group photo! Diving images are fun also.
That's a great diving picture! We were down at the ocean yesterday and we saw literally 100's of pelicans. Way more than we usually see. Our thought was that they were flocking to head south, but we really don't know. They would fly west along a jetty just to turn around and fly east about a mile just to turn around and do it again. The day was pretty warm for us, no rain, and a stiff north wind of about 25 or 30 mph. It seemed to us that they were just enjoying the day, they made no attempt to dive or fish for food. They would fly directly over our heads - they are really cool birds. After the DDT decline we didn't have them for many years.
Caspian Tern at Merritt Island, FL. Thought the back-lighting and the angle were kind of unique on this one...
Nice Caspian shot, Lyceel!
How about a Brown Pelican flying over some American White Pelicans.......
I didn't exactly plan this shot, but I thought it came out pretty cool. Some DC Cormorants were arguing with each other over who got which perch, when a much larger bird (I didn't ever see what it was) spooked them all into the air. The small flock flew around in a circle and landed back where they came from, but they just happened to cross in front of the sunset on their way...
