Pelicans Feeding

I sat on a bench to watch these six pelicans feeding. Pelicans often fish in groups. They will form a line to chase schools of small fish into shallow water, and then scoop them up. Large fish are caught with the bill-tip, then tossed up in the air to be caught and slid into the gullet head first. Quite comical to watch but efficient.
