It was good to see this White Pelican was able to (barely) miss landing on his friends. Once they get close like this things don’t always work out as planned.
It looks like he pulled back a little to glide past the main group. Very thoughtful of him.
Behind the Pelicans you can see various other birds like American Avocet, Glossy Ibis, and Snowy Egrets.
Everything had a sharp golden glow at the time due to sunrise being at my back.
That’s great but how about a pelican face plant? 😀
Don’t think I’ve ever seen one. The crashes are usually from landing on top of the others… I guess one of them have it though.
