    Beautiful country! How did you capture this? Is it multiple frames combined? Posted 11 years ago

      It is indeed a wonderful country. You're not the first to ask about the shot- it's actually 1 photo of 5 different pelicans all flying in formation if you can believe that. There's no layering (I don't even know how). Was just right place, right time :) Posted 11 years ago

The Brown pelican

The brown pelican is a bird of the pelican family, Pelecanidae, one of three species found in the Americas and one of two that feed by diving into water. It is found on the Atlantic Coast from New Jersey to the mouth of the Amazon River, and along the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to northern Chile, including the Galapagos Islands.
