Two pelicans in flight against the winter clouds at Point Lobos State Reserve, California.

Yes, another shot of pelicans in flight – and it won’t be the last! I can’t get enough of these wonderful birds. This pair was among those I earlier described as coasting slowly along right next to a bluff just north of Bird Island at Point Lobos.
