Pelicans, not-so-brief

Working together

I can't go to the beach today, but I CAN imagine what it's like to stand in the sand and watch a line of pelicans silently surf the stormy skies above my head, working together to maximize efficiency and ensure they get to fly another day.

I did this very thing just a few months ago, and at the time it didn't occur to me how prescient this transient, largely-ignored-by-everyone-else scene would turn out to be.

Because working together for food and survival is baked into their DNA. No one has to tell them what to do. Presumably, the pelicans with slight or not-so-slight variations in feather color are as much a part of the flock as any others.

We could learn from them.
