American White Pelican - They are superb soarers (they are among the heaviest flying birds in the world) and often travel long distances in large flocks by soaring

Awesome shot, gorgeous light and exposure, and complete with prey and wingtip on the water. He looks very serious!

Thank you for the kindly compliment EB.
The eels were plentiful in that pond.
The birds were voraciously devouring all morning.
Happy trails.
