When a dinosaur flies past - White Pelican

This White Pelican was flying very low over the water at Frank Lake, Alberta.

 

When birds flies less than a wingpsan’s distance from the ground, flight is much more efficient due to slight changes in airflow patterns around the wing. Land is usually too cluttered with grass and trees and whatnot to permit such flight, but calm waters are perfect for it.
