...could drive you insane! :huh Last Friday at Green Island, IA there was a huge flock of Pelicans. 300 would be a conservative guess.

    That's a lot of pelis, Ric. Reminds me of the Salton Sea. Nice PIF. :D

    That first shot is just super. I've never seen more than a few in flight together at the same time, although I've seen large numbers of them together in the water.

    BTW, the BIF is very nice too.

    Cheers

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
