Phil Lewenthal photographed the multitudes of Brown Pelicans off Galleon's Reach.

And Barbara Johannes photographed a group resting on an offshore rock

Paul Brewer gets the prize for the most Brown Pelicans in a photo with this snapshot from the mouth of the Gualala River.

Many of us love these prehistoric-looking birds. To see them glide by, using the wind currents, makes our heart sing.

Thanks to Phil, Barbara and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's sunny and breezy today - lots of whitecaps on the ocean this afternoon.
