When you can\u2019t be out on the boardwalk (due to crowds or regulations\u2026we are not allowed to take our class groups out on the boardwalk) there is always the Estuary Trail at Ottawa, which you can get to from either end of the Magee parking lot. And Ottawa has Pelicans! We saw several flight going overhead, some close, as these were. I like the formation here. It reminds me of a chorus line in a musical, though Pelicans are not all that musical. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds-in-flight and action modifications.
