This is the shot I was hoping to get. I know when they cluster together the photograph can be very interesting, and fun.
‘The White Pelican has an overall length of about 50–70 in (130–180 cm), courtesy of the huge beak which measures 11.3–15.2 in (290–390 mm) in males and 10.3–14.2 in (260–360 mm) in females. It has a wingspan of about 95–120 in (240–300 cm). The species also has the second largest average wingspan of any North American bird, after the California condor.’ (Wikipedia)
What a fantastic crowd! And it seems that everybody is so comfortable.
They do well, until a few more come crashing down to join the feast. 😂🤣
Wow! Never seen them like that. Do they do that to keep warm?
They catch fish by gathering in groups and swimming in a group. I think it pushes and stirs up the fish. In small marshes fish will swim away until they reach the waters edge. Herons and Egrets can grab them that way too.
