If they were jets, they'd be re-fueling in mid-flight. Cool capture, Judy. Pelicans are among my favorite subjects, they are so effortlessly graceful in flight.

@Viewfinder: *Ha, ha ... *
You're right, for such big and somewhat cumbersome-looking birds, they soar......

cool shot - they are in formation, readying for a bombing run!!! I love watching pelicans (in Virginia) but have not yet been able to capture them.....

@Chris: We don't have many pelicans up here on the Nature Coast, but south of us, both on the east and west coast they are plentiful.
I like your "bombing run" idea! <grin>
