[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The birds are American White Pelican, and I don't think I've ever seen a formation quite like this. The way they line up looks very much like a dipper in the sky. Not exactly like their starry counterpart, but still fun to see.

I have neither seen any such formation. It almost looks as though it were some sort of training maneuver they are practicing...very unusual.

Of course it would have been perfect a bit clearer but sometimes we are stuck with what we have with us....so this is a blowup right? Well you made the best of it by showing the odd formation...
