A Pelican yawns: and boy does he yawn!

I wish there had been a camera on me to capture the surprise in my eyes when Mr. Pelican (a “Mrs.” Pelican would not have done so in public.) went to the peak of his yawn. Of course, I had NO idea she was going to yawn at all! I was just trying to get as close as I could to it to get a couple of shots. I kept snapping until I got something I wanted and then BOOM the bird does THIS! It was slow at first and built into a fast crescendo and back down to its lazy-like pose as if nothing had happened at all.
HA! I guess I got something I didn't know I was going to want. LOL

Of course, the pelican could have simply been cleaning out his craw, getting all the bits and pieces of fish down; who knows. He had been napping when I came up on him.
