Perfect Two Point Landing (Aero Pelican)

Pelicans are such amazing birds in flight.
Snapped this shot while at Forbes on our recent caravan trip.
Unusual to see so many Pelicans this far inland.

A wonderful bird!

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!

- Dixon Merritt (1879-1972)
