Artist's Description
It is peaceful to sit on the beach watching the waves gently roll in. This is Cocoa Beach. Four brown pelicans flew in a row just barely above the surface of the water. They do this by using a phenomenon known as ground effect. This reduces drag and increases lift. As the air flows between the wings and the water surface, it is compressed to a higher density and exerts a stronger upward force against the bird above. Hence substantial energy is saved while flying. Sometimes their wing tips actually touched the water. They stayed close together and flew as a unit.
I always thought myself clever to call them a squadron instead of a flock. Curious to see what they are actually called I found that they are, indeed, known as a squadron! I guess that I'm not so clever, after all!
