White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)

These guys show up religiously, only in the winter through. Not sure which way they are migrating! They fish in groups unlike the brown pelicans that fish solo. At Huntington Beach State Park, SC.

Oh what fun that must have been to see that group in hunting mode (saw a group of Australian Pelicans doing that once).

You've a fabulous picture of them Bob - thanks my friend.

Lol, I wouldn't want to be a fish with this hungry looking mob! Great group capture of these attractive Pelicans. Superb Bob!
