Pelicans Soaring Over Stormy Gray Ocean Waters

A large flock of approximately 12-15 brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) flies in loose formation just above the ocean surface on a heavily overcast day. The birds display their characteristic large wingspans and long bills, with some appearing slightly motion-blurred due to the challenging lighting conditions. The ocean below is dark gray and choppy, reflecting the moody, overcast sky with no visible horizon distinction. The overall atmosphere is dramatic and wild, evoking a sense of coastal wilderness. A faint dark shape is visible in the water on the lower right, possibly a marine animal such as a dolphin or seal.
