Took with Xperia Z5.
One of the funniest scenes of birds in action I ever witnessed was a pelican in Tiburon, CA. It staked out a waterfront restaurant and waited for just the right moment to.swoop in and steal a diner's entire Monte Cristo sandwich!

Even more amazing was the speed with which the staff replaced the patron's complete table service setup--from the tablecloth all the way up to the new meal and fresh gin fizz. I assumed this happened all the time there, and extra servings of pelican favorites were kept on hot standby.

Coming soon, my best bird shot. Either in action or perhaps inaction.
