Pelicans engage in what appears to be synchronized dive bombing on Englewood Beach, where a bonanza of bait fish last week drew birds as far as the eye could see and gave bird watchers a treat. The feeding frenzy lasted several days.
Flotillas of pelicans and other birds feasted on plentiful bait fish from Englewood Beach to Stump Pass and beyond, beachgoers reported last week.

A variety of birds feasted on the abundant baitfish as far as the eye could see — so much so that for wildlife photographer Paula Kaye, it could have been a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds.”
