I'm always amazed when I see pics like these because of how effortless they seem to hang in the air, big birds they are! Your second shot is great.

Your second shot is great. Same here. I have many flight photos of white pelicans including takeoffs and landings and I think the same thing each time.....

From http://www.birdsinbackyards.net …/Pelecanus-conspicillatus "Pelicans are not capable of sustained flapping flight, but can remain in the air for 24 hours, covering hundreds of kilometres. They are excellent soarers and can use thermals to rise to considerable altitudes. Flight at 1,000m is common, and heights of 3 000 m have been recorded. By moving from one thermal to the next, pelicans can travel long distances with a minimum of effort, reaching air speeds of up to 56 km/hour". Cheers Dennis Most large birds use thermals. During migration you can see large flocks circling up and then soaring away. Pretty cool way to travel. Wild Birds of Europe: https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?p=19371752
