Incoming Flight

A brown pelican comes cruising in from beyond the reeds of the salt marsh. These big birds take up a lot of airspace and generally get immediate clearance to land!

Amazing shot considering the bird was flying toward you. This is a pretty unique angle, and one I rarely see others achieve successfully.

It does look like these birds can take up a lot of airspace. Do they fly in a big group?

Great photo! Love the yellow heads in cooler months. So glad the brown pelicans have made a successful comeback along the Strand. Remember when sightings were few and far between, now they are a daily joy to behold. Thanks for sharing another awesome bird!

The pelican reminds me of the “big bus” of the sky. Gorgeous capture Phil.
