Five White Pelicans cruising above the Mississippi river. There were about 50 of them. I posted this after seeing Tick's great post of the Ducks in flight....Canon 400mm F/5.6 L lens.

Pretty cool capture. I don't think there are pelicans around here except in the zoo, and they don't ever fly. LOL.

great shot. You weren't using a tripod here, were you. Fine detail. I didn't know pelicans were in your neck of the woods.

Super capture Eggz. There must be war in the air with all the Fowl Squardrons on alert. You are the master. Thanks for mentioning my post.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Great capture, Greg. I don't think I can take a shot like this 5 pelicans flying in formation. Here are many pelicans, but they stay seperated. Mostly with some companions of seagulls. I could take their shots only two of them flying together. They don't fly as high as in your shot. Mostly over 1-2 meters from the water surface.

Seeing your image reminds me how much I missed the White Pelicans this winter. For some reason they did not show up
this year. Nice job.
