Hi All, I would like to add for those of us who might not know, that after a little research, I found that the White Pelican co-operatively feeds with the cormorant because when the cormorant dives, it stirs up the fish to the top of the water where the pelican can then scoop up the fish. Even so, the strategy did not seem to be working. That would explain why the pelican is following them. Here are a few shots, nothing spectacular because the light really dwindled, but for the record.
