Sunset Reception

Last night there was a reception sponsored by the Hotel on the sun deck. The sun deck is situated between the hotel and the beach, if you step off of the deck you're toe deep in sand. The one hour pre-dinner event was an open bar and appetizers with a beautiful beach and ocean view.

As I was watching the ocean birds, I notice a squadron of 3 pelicans flying in formation. Then, without warning they tucked their wings back and began a vertical dive toward the ocean, one be one they disappeared into the ocean. Moments later one, two, then three pelican heads popped up out of the water, each with a fish in their mouths. I watched this spectacle over and over again, each time with amazement.
