While hiking a wooded trail that runs beside the lake, we found a view through the tree tops of a group of White Pelicans flying high overhead.
Continuing on, we suddenly heard a loud noise, and were surprised to see a flock of White Pelicans mixed with Double-crested Cormorants plummeting onto the lake near where we were hiking. Two birds that you wouldn’t expect to see together, but united in a common purpose.

After the commotion of the landing, the fishing party proceeded quietly along the shore for a short distance and then headed out across the lake toward the opposite shore.

Amazing team work😊
They looked focused on their goal.
Great photos!
Thanks, Rebecca!
You’re most definitely welcome.
Very nice article and topic. 👏👏. We see the Pelicans with Spoonbills doing the same thing. Good to know, thanks.
I know that has to be a beautiful sight! 🙂
Wonderful photos. I don’t see pelicans up this way.
We are able to see them during spring and fall migration.
They are beautiful.
Look at that activity. Spring is here … and you captured it well.
Thanks Frank!
Great photos, especially seeing the white feathers of the Pelican against the blue sky and water.
Thanks Linda! It’s always fun to see the pelicans.
