"The scene shows four brown pelicans suspended in mid‑flight, each one carved sharply against a wide, unbroken blue sky. Their wings stretch long and steady, the feathers splayed like fingers catching the air. The birds move in a loose, natural line from left to right, each at a slightly different height, giving the impression of a rhythm—almost like a slow, gliding choreography. You can sense their weight and grace at the same time: the heavy beaks angled forward, the broad wings holding them aloft with minimal effort, the bodies streamlined for long coastal journeys. There’s a quiet dignity in their formation, as if they’ve done this a thousand times and will do it a thousand more. The open sky around them makes their presence feel even more commanding, four silhouettes riding a calm morning." - Microsoft Copilot

I was going to take Charlie for a walk this morning and try to get back into the rhythm of things, but it’s raining. ...

One Brown pelican takes a midday siesta while the other stands watch on old pier pilings protruding from Willapa Bay.

Brown pelicans flying in formation with clouds in the background

Color photo of two Brown Pelicans, one standing on a mini dock/ramp for jet skis and the other on a wooded dock behind, with the bow of a small white boat in the slip behind them, the reflection of a low sun is rippling across the water in the marina. The front pelican is a bit ruffled and the back pelican is preening.

"Twelve brown pelicans soar in a crisp V-formation across a sky brushed with soft clouds. Their wings are outstretched, wide and steady, catching the air like sails. Each bird holds its place in the angled line; a living geometry etched against the pale blue canvas. The pelicans appear large and deliberate, their long beaks pointing forward, their bodies streamlined for flight. The V-shape slices diagonally across the frame, suggesting motion, coordination, and quiet power. The clouds behind them are scattered and gentle, offering contrast without distraction—like a stage curtain pulled back to reveal the choreography of migration. The image feels both serene and purposeful, a moment of natural order suspended in midair. In the bottom left corner, the watermark “© Swede’s Photographs” marks the scene as a captured ritual." - Microsoft Copilot

The entire frame is water in the Florida intercoastal, looking down at a pod of brown pelicans, splashing around for scraps of fish thrown from the dock, docking pilings nearby and lower part of a boat docked across the way can be seen on the upper right frame. Reflection is sun off the water.

#BirdOfTheDay is a pod of #BrownPelicans with plenty of #splashes feeding on scraps next to the fish cleaning station for charters, in South Florida.

5 Pelicans in varying stages of flight fly low over the gray Atlantic Ocean just before sunrise. The backdrop is a gray, orange, pink, and yellow cloudscape. The shallow shore water in the foreground is the pinkish-orange reflection of the sky and clouds.

Here’s a #beachscape from a #birding

In the foreground, sunlight shimmers off the rippling surface of a lagoon left behind from a high tide. A small group of #gulls hang out nearby

In the ocean, #BrownPelicans bob peacefully just off the #beach

It’s still nice in October 😊

There were hundreds of pelicans along the bluff but I loved seeing this pair. #birds #birdphotography #pelicans #brownpelicans

On the right, brown pelican 1 approaches brown pelican 2 perched and preening on a round metal post in the Salton Sea. Both birds are brown with white faces and black necks. I believe the bird on the left is a juvenile because of its gray-ish beak.

"Ten Brown Pelicans soar overhead in loose formation, their wings outstretched like sails catching invisible wind. The sky behind them is a layered wash of white and gray clouds, with soft patches of blue peeking through—like a watercolor sky mid-thought. The birds are large and deliberate, each one suspended mid-flight, their long bills pointed forward, their bodies streamlined for distance. The formation is loosely V-shaped, not rigid—more like a conversation than a command. Some birds fly slightly higher, others lower, creating a rhythm of motion that feels both choreographed and casual. Their wings are broad and slightly bowed, tips feathered like brushstrokes, and their silhouettes shift subtly against the changing light. There’s no visible land, no horizon—just sky and movement. The pelicans seem to float rather than fly, their pace unhurried, their purpose quiet. It’s a moment of aerial ceremony, a migration not just of bodies but of instinct and memory. In the top right corner, the image bears the watermark “© Swede’s Photographs,” a gentle signature that doesn’t intrude on the scene’s rhythm." - Copilot

Hope you're soaring through Wednesday! Two brown pelicans at dawn soaring, tilted, wings spread, over the gray-blue Atlantic Ocean. Behind and above them is a sky that is pink where it meets the ocean, cut with thin, purple-gray horizontal clouds, and orange and ultimately yellow as it ascends.

Pelican Parade "A line of brown pelicans—Pelecanus occidentalis—slices across the sky from right to left, each bird spaced with near-perfect precision. Their wings are outstretched, tips slightly curved, catching invisible currents as they glide in synchronized formation. The backdrop is a canvas of soft, scattered clouds with hints of blue peeking through, giving the impression of a calm, open sky. The pelicans’ silhouettes contrast gently against the light, their long beaks and pouch-like throats unmistakable even in flight. The scene evokes quiet motion, a moment suspended between effort and ease, as if the birds are tracing a path only they can see." - Copilot

Two large brown birds with wide wing span and large beaks are flying very close to each other. The wing of the bird on the right seems to be touching the bird on the right.

#BrownPelicans seem to fly into each other a lot.

"A sweep of brown pelicans carves across a cobalt sky, eight birds gliding in loose formation with wide wings outstretched like silent sails. Their wingspan dominates the frame—broad and steady—as each bird slips through the air with practiced ease. The pelicans appear almost choreographed, forming a subtle V-shape that curves slightly, as if pulled by an invisible current. Sunlight traces the edges of their bodies, revealing brown and taupe plumage with pale necks and long, angular beaks that point forward with quiet determination. Above them, the sky is vivid and mostly clear, streaked with faint wisps of cloud like breath on glass. The image captures a moment of tranquil flight—grace in motion, unified and effortlessly wild." - Copilot
