Lol, large enough to block the sun out! Fabulous birds, I love watching these guys flying on just sitting around interacting with each other or communal fishing. They are fabulous! Great aerial Teto!!!!!

A super aerial shot of this Pelican T. Beautifully captured guy.
 
Beautiful shot Teto. I love these pelicans and got images of them fishing a couple days ago. They're so different at catching a meal compared to the brown pelicans.
