American White Pelicans were busy feeding for over two hours
They scoop fish into their huge pouch while they swim along the surface. They will often encircle a school of fish and then shrink the circle as they feed on the helpless fish.
Several different species were feeding on the flats.
Primarily Great Egrets and White Ibises

Great Blue Heron taking off into the wind which happened to be right toward our home
Great Egrets too
Brown Pelicans (bottom bird) are the only one of the 13 pelican species that dive for their prey.
