Pelican flight

Wingspans close to three metres, with heavy takeoffs, graceful landings, and low passes over the water. This is part of my American white pelican collection.

This gallery of pelican flight photographs shows American white pelicans in the air over Manitoba water, from heavy takeoffs to long glides. Each frame shows a different moment of the flight.
