........Semi-annual migration of pelicans.......

...Pelicans fly more in formation than other birds, like ravens or seagulls.. Mostly fly in the same direction, especially when thermalling.. not as many flying opposite to the main group.
They're generally seen going south late in the year at Lancaster. Big white ball of birds..

Pelicans on parade.

..Pelicans are larger by far than the Whizard...
