Feeding Frenzy

A school of fish veers to close to the shore and hundreds of Pelicans and Cormorants take advantage of the situation. Most of the birds in the air are Pelicans.
A most unusual sight this close to shore. The image shows perhaps a quarter of the birds taking part.

As we never see pelicans, it is difficult to imagine this number of large birds in the air at one time. The noise must have been tremendous too. "V"

Taking advantage of the opportunity - both the birds and you! That's a lot of Pelicans.
