A New Addition To The Team!

Some of you will remember seeing the egret and blue heron from last week performing their synchronized flying maneuvers in the salt marsh.

Well we now have two new members of the squad. These brown pelicans recently auditioned and after displaying their technical flying expertise they were immediately asked to join the team and will soon be heading out on the tour!

That is remarkable. I wonder if they are aware of the symmetry.

  Maybe the second one is drafting on the lead pelican? 🙂 Especially if he has been watching a lot of NASCAR.

  They are quite nice flyers, but not so elegant when diving for fish. 🙂

  I get 10% of the gate. Not a bad deal considering they do all the work.

  They are show offs, but they are also quite excellent flyers so they should show off their skills. 🙂

I think they’ve been practising….a lot. 🙂 You’d better sign them up quick before they join the Air Force. Great capture, Phil.

  There is an old air force base just south of the Myrtle Beach Airport, I wonder if that’s where they originated? 😀

  It is fun and interesting how the pelicans will often form up into nice tight groups or even in this case, pairs.

Over here in the UK we have a formation flying team called The Red Arrows… I reckon these guys should apply to join!
