Went to the beach overnight, on the drive out I followed this scoop of Brown Pelicans for about 25 miles. The pelicans were cruising about 20' off the dunes there. The breeze comes right off the gulf, hits the dune line and shoots upward which allows the birds to just ride the air currents. They flapped maybe once every four or five minutes, otherwise just wings out and cruising, single file like.
