Pelicans Flying in Formation Over Stormy Seas

A flock of large seabirds, most likely Brown Pelicans, fly in a loose linear formation just above the horizon line over a grey, turbulent ocean during what appears to be a rainy or overcast day. The image was taken with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and a 100-500mm telephoto lens with a 2x extender, resulting in significant motion blur due to the extreme focal length and the fast movement of the birds. The sky and sea blend into muted shades of blue-grey, creating a monochromatic, somber atmosphere. Rain streaks are faintly visible across the frame, adding to the stormy, wild coastal mood. The birds appear to number around 15-20 individuals spread across the frame.
