Nature's Air Force Patrolling the Coast
The shot below was taken during a trip my wife and I made to Southern California a while back. While walking near the beach we were captivated by the pelican’s flying overhead. They seemed to move with such effortless ease while staying in near perfect formation. Although the birds are large and a bit awkward on land, they move gracefully through the air.

I like your description "Nature's Air Force" regarding the pelicans in flight. On the Oregon Coast we see more of the cormorants in flight. Good picture.
John, great title for a really nice photograph!
Hi John, That was a clever title. Perhaps you could name them the Not Blue Angels. Not too angelic of course if you have ever been under them as they fly over. Certainly made my day, LMAO.
This is one of my favorite sights in visiting the beach! You are right, they are so awkward on land! Love that they are Nature's Air Force!
Nice shot-perfect formation! Good shot of the clouds moving in too!
