It occurs to me that I have never shown photos of the birds that we see perhaps the most often -- pelicans. From our condo on the beach in Playa Langosta, we see lines of pelicans, often in a "V" pattern, flying up or down the beach. I am not sure where they are coming from or where they are going. They do not land and walk around town.
Unless I have the camera out on our balcony with me, they are gone by the time I get my camera. I took this photo from our balcony looking out at the afternoon sky to try to envision what type of sunset we would have.
When not flying by in a group, we can see individual pelicans diving into the ocean to catch fish. There are 8 species of pelicans, but only one, the brown pelican, is found in Costa Rica.
This week we are showing scenes of Christmas in Vienna on Viva la Voyage.

Pelicans are so beautiful as they fly threw the air.
I love to watch pelicans. They are such a unique looking bird. I don't think I've ever seen them flying in formation though.
Never seen a pelican for real so I'm quite envious.
They say it is instinct that makes them fly in such a formation - young following the older ones, nice to see that life indeed isn't that different for us all.
Please have a wonderful Sunday.
Thanks for following my blog. I'm interested in learing more about Costa Rica so I'm following yours too now.

Do they make a sound as geese do?
