    It's Pelican Spring Migration time again!

    I missed the day they actually came in this year, but last weekend got them flying around. They hang out across the river from where I work at the barge terminal.





    They remind me of a swarm of bees or something when they fly. They sometimes fly so close to each other! Amazing they don't run into each other.














    Walk softly and carry a big lens.

    Excellent Series SARtech the bird formations in your closeups are too cool.

    HaHa, I like to reward all who take the time to edit, re-size, upload and post good shots.
    I think we all enjoy a pat on the back for our efforts to share and hopefully entertain.

    And yes I am a fan, if it weren't for peeps like you who post, very interesting shots, often this forum wouldn't be what it is.

    Those are some real cool formations. I especially like the pelicans in the bottom of the 5th shot.

    Thanks guys!
    Mike.... I tried to do a crop of just those 3 close together in that shot you speak of. It just didn't look good enough super-cropped. That is definitely as close to one another as I have seen them get. Amazing.
