The photographs tell the story, very clearly. Our timing was perfect with the tide and wind.

Brown Pelicans hunt schools of fish different than other Pelicans. First they search the water from up high.

Next a turn to line up with their prey.

Once even with the fish it’s a deep and fast dive…

Full speed, head first to grab their prey.

It’s loud, quick, and really exciting to watch.
Ted, these are astonishing shots! I enlarged them, they are so clear, so detailed. Amazing!!!
So glad you liked them, that will make it easier to publish all the others LOL. We found the perfect spot, near a bridge, and Pelicans dove in groups all around us. Thanks so much for your kind words.
