Pelican Antics & Pelicans from the Air: Two short films
Every spring for the last 10 years or so, a flock of between 30 and 120 American White Pelicans have stopped over along the St. Louis River near Fond du Lac Duluth, Minnesota. A great vantage point is Chamber’s Grove Park. The pelicans are probably on their way to large breeding colonies in the far north of Minnesota or possibly Manitoba.
I made these short videos a couple years ago, but am finally getting them out into the “webosphere.”
They are fascinating creatures to just sit and watch…Enjoy!
Watch an American White Pelican swallow a very large fish in slow motion.
This one is filmed entirely with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone…Note how the pelicans completely ignore it.
