THERE WAS A WHOLE GROUP OF AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS

We were up in Big Bear at the lake yesterday, near an area called Boulder Bay.  It's a beautiful area with a small park and expensive homes and up until this year the water level was fairly high.  I was surprised to find it so low but apparently the pelicans loved it.  There was a group of them - about 10 or more - eating something in the water - they traveled in a group and would duck their heads at the same time and then come up to swallow.  As I was watching them - I could see this guy fly in from way across the lake toward where I was so I caught him in flight.  The light was perfect.  I'll be posting more photos from this day later but this was my favorite.
