Food Fight!
We were at the salt marsh at the inlet watching some brown pelicans flying, fishing, napping, and just in general being pelicans. Some were scavenging for food when one juvenile came up with a fish. This quickly attracted a crowd which included one particularly aggressive adult. After a brief scuffle, the older bird managed to gain possession of the prize and had his victory snack to enjoy!

So good to see you still have the master’s touch, Phil! Great pictures! I feel sorry for the juvie though. Better luck next time.
Great captures, Phil. The poor fish doesn’t look at all happy. 🥲
I was do happy to see your post pop up today! I miss seeing your excellent wildlife images! Thank you for sharing

A beautiful capture you made! This is so cool how they can stop flying and what seems like floating towards food for a second. Thank you for sharing the beauty.
