Saw this pod of pelicans about a year ago at the Bullshead Reservoir just north of Eagle Butte, Alberta.
They would repeatedly swim in one direction then turn around and swim in the opposite direction, all the while excitedly flapping their wings. Not sure what that was all about but they seemed completely consumed by the activity.
As soon as they spotted me they retreated to the rear of the reservoir, away from prying eyes.
It's always a treat to see pelicans.

I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.
