Week #3 - Over 50 Pelicans
by Dale R. Palmer

I saw this plethora of pelicans flying high overhead and by the time I could park my car, they were in the distance flying away from me. Fortunately I had my Nikon P900 to zoom in on them. I count 52 in this photo but there were more. The problem was that if I zoomed out to get them all, they were too small... so I got enough that were big enough to be recognizable. I did enough post processing to make the pelicans stand out a bit.

Nikon COOLPIX P900

Quite a herd (well, actually a pod according to Google). Nice capture.

That is a bunch, for sure! We see them in our area, but not usually flying in such very large numbers!
