Pelican Squadron Soaring Over Pacific Coastal Waters

A large flock of brown pelicans flies in a loose formation low over choppy gray-green ocean waters against an overcast sky. The birds display their characteristic long wingspans and elongated bills as they navigate in groups, with some birds appearing slightly blurred due to their motion. On the far right, a rocky sea stack or outcropping is visible, crowded with resting seabirds—likely cormorants or murres—perched along the top. The scene captures the wild, windswept character of the Pacific Coast, with whitecapped waves cresting below the birds and a marine layer diffusing the light into a flat, cool gray palette. The overall mood is dramatic and elemental, conveying the untamed energy of a coastal bird migration or daily foraging flight.
