Cool!  It was fun to watch.  It looked like the 7th pelican was younger
because it was out of step and had to keep scrambling to get to where the
fish were.

Pretty typical group feeding behavior DuWayne.   See link below for a video
of this fun behavior.  Well fun for us to watch at least

[cobirds] Pelican behavior

2021-05-08 Thread 'DuWayne Worthington' via Colorado Birds 
This evening just before the storm hit around 6pm, there was a group of 7
pelicans that were doing a behavior I hadn't seen before.  They were
swimming in formation in a line with two -abreast and they would all put
their bills in the water at the same time, first on one side, then on the
other.  Then they would stop and circle up and put their bills in the
middle of the group into the water.  It looked a little like they were
maybe herding fish??  Has anyone seen something similar?
