Flight Twins
Finishing this four-image pelican series with this aerial shot of these two tandem flyers.
On the ground, these huge American White Pelicans waddle around somewhat awkwardly. But when in the air, few birds soar as gracefully and beautifully as they do. Smooth and seemingly effortless, they use the air currents for soaring, minimizing a lot of wing flapping.
Also, when descending to land from high altitudes, they make multiple, circular descents, banking in tandem and maintaining their positions next to each other... If you've ever experience this, it is a wonder to behold, and it leaves you full of joy and with your jaw open with amazement. Truly one of the wonders of nature...
