American White Pelicans. Isn't it mesmerizing how they can stay in formation so perfectly? And when they turn, they can totally disappear! Thanks for your pics.

Thanks for liking the photos.
I know it's far from the ocean but the birds are actually Eastern Sierra seagulls. The Owens river and the aqueduct that brings water from the Mammoth Lakes area to Los Angeles provides great fishing for anglers and sources of food for the gulls. I go there fishing twice a year and look forward to the show in the sky.

Take a look at my pelicans from May 2014. You'll see why I thought what I did :) Uncanny!

Great series. In aviation, the pelicans would be the bomber planes and the seagulls the fighter planes. Something about certain birds and the formations they form while flying. Love watching geese in flight.
