Pelicans in Flight Over Rocky Pacific Outcropping

A large flock of brown pelicans flies in loose formation above the churning gray Pacific Ocean, while a rocky sea stack in the middle distance is crowded with perching cormorants. The overcast sky creates a flat, diffused light that gives the scene a dramatic, moody atmosphere. Waves break against the dark volcanic rock outcropping, which is whitened with guano from its dense bird colony. The telephoto compression from the RF100-500mm with 2x extender brings the distant rock and birds into impressive proximity, revealing the layered wildlife activity. The image captures the raw, wild energy of a Pacific coastal ecosystem during what appears to be an active feeding period.
