These birds were still quite high; they were not coming in for a landing. I was surprised they didn't crash, but they continued on their journey without mishap.

Five
In the Necedah Wildlife Refuge, a flock of pelicans flew overhead. I was firing away with my camera in burst mode, and found I had taken this rather benign shot of five.
A couple of frames further into the shoot, I found this far more interesting image.

I love the randomness of the bottom image...it looks as if they are going to run into each other!

Somebody doesn't know how to fly straight! Fun shot.
ReplyDeleteThe top shot reminds me of a Flottila of warships in formation. Love Pelicans too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like pelican wars to see who is going to lead. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteI love the bottom pelican chaos shot. What amazing birds, they don't look like they could even got off the ground and yet go lots of miles.
ReplyDeletethat would be get off the ground...
ReplyDeleteI think the bottom shot looks like they're walking on air. Pelicans are one of my favorite birds...like little cargo planes, I think. Great photos!
