Flying low.
This is and American white pelican flying low over water in the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron Parish, Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. They kind of remind me of a flying boat or more accurately a flying boat reminds me of a pelican. This photo isn't quite as good as I hoped, but it'll do.
"One of the largest North American birds, the American White Pelican is majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look. On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for them on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter." - allaboutbirds.org
