    Wonderful birds. I was sitting outside one day at my retreat, and a flock of pelicans flew by at about 20 feet on the air, and about 30 feet from me. I so wish I would have had a camera ready that day. Nice lens Lizzy and a big Thumbs-up!

    Can anyone tell me the spelling for the word describing the "v" formation that the White Pelican flies in? It sounds like "eschelon" or "eshelon". I heard it described (probably on public radio) but can't find it in Webster's on-line dictionary.

    Last weekend we saw hundreds of these white pelicans at Lake Perris, and on a large farm pond in the Hemet Valley (in Southern California) and we weren't sure what they were
    so this article was very helpful. They had the very unusual and noticeable horn on their beaks as mentioned and were gorgeous and graceful in flight. We also saw many flying very high in the air, so I guess they were migrating back from the winter?

    In my area, Mobile, AL, the brown pelican had been near extinction, but was just recently take off that list because they have made a very nice come back. Great lens. Most of your lenses seem to be fantastic.

    I don't think I've really ever seen one of these type of pelicans -- just the brown ones that I've seen predominantly in the Florida Keys. I have some hilarious pictures of them. Another tip top lens!

    Pelicans are such cool birds. I wonder if the coyotes bother them...
