"A Never Ending Job" for these pelicans. Oil displacement helps keep the birds buoyant and acts as a water repellant. Malibu Lagoon, Malibu California was the location. This was one of those shots when one has not found anything of interest to shoot. Your just about ready to pack it in and decide to stay a little longer to "practice". Not too bad, tells the story, good lines, moderate impact. A 500mm lens was used on a tri-pod.
