Along the Yellowstone River the white pelicans drift down stretches hunting fish and then will fly back up river a ways to do all over again.

what a unique capture. I've always envisioned these as tropical birds.
Very lovely composition and the snow falling is a definite bonus as well as great timing to catch the two flying together. I too had considered these birds as tropical.
You don't see White Pelicans in snow here in FL :). This is a very nice image.
Cool image, Dale! The snow really makes the shot.
