A few shots of cooperative fishing, Pelican style. Many birds hunt or fish in flocks but I don’t see any that coordinate the hunt like a White Pelican.

They will line up, almost shoulder to shoulder, and push fish forward.

Because these are massive birds it’s even more impressive if you can close like here. The Condor is the only North American bird larger than this Pelican.


In a marsh area flocks like this will fish as a group for a few days and then move on. They need to go, most of the fish are gone.
