This nonbreeding adult Brown Pelican was sitting feeding very near the surf line near Point Mugu. Occasionally, it would do a short rise and then dive beneath the water presumably to catch some food. About every 10-15 minutes it would fly around in one or more circles and then sit back on the water very near to its original position. This sequence of nine photos was taken over a period of slightly less than 1/2 minute during one of its circles. Five badly focused shots are left out.
