American White Pelicans on the Bear River MBR





I love watching these large birds that usually gather in one big group in close proximity and they don't care how inconvenient it maybe for others.
  
They yawn, preen and doze and feel so comfortable with each other. 




 



Then the time comes and the leader leaves the group. It's a kind of signal to others; let's start fishing but let's do it in a different place. 





It takes time to decide either to follow the leader or not, but eventually the birds will follow their leader one by one.






or sometimes together like these two.

Generally, life is good.

  2. Preciosa serie. Debe ser muy impactante ver a esas grandes aves levantar el vuelo. La primera y la segunda son las que más me gustan.
    Un abrazo.
