In a split second these three birds spotted the fish and turned.
At the time of the dive they were not very high in the air. It was a quick twist and then straight down. Three at the same moment.
Each bird hit the surface with a fraction of a second between them. Pretty much in the same formation as when they first turned.
I had never seen Pelican fish in such close proximity to each other before.
It was loud, really loud at the end.
Because they started from such a low altitude the entire sequence took approximately a single second. The time stamps on the images were all just about the same.
Now that’s amazing.
Synchronized diving is an Olympic sport, but I think it involves only two divers at a time. Great captures of an unusual moment.
The spot we found, and the tide there, made for a large number of great feeding shots. Never had as many opportunities in the ocean/bay before.
Wow! A trio….must be teenagers:)
Pat
These were the first images I have captured with that many feeding in the same frame. They have to be almost on top of one another for that to work. Of. Purse now I need to catch 4 at the same time LOL.
Yep, slowly but surely:)
Fine work!
It was a great day for Pelicans. Still can’t believe I caught three feeding in the same frames LOL. I have gone back to that same spot….some shots but nothing like this day. Thanks.
