It was fun watching these two pelicans fighting each other over a carp. Pelican 1 with his wings folded actually flew in first and attacked pelican 2 who flew away but then turned back and attacked pelican 1. The photo shows pelican 2 as he returned to attack pelican 1. While these 2 pelicans are fighting each other the carp swims away. You can see the water ripples from it to the left of where the pelicans are fighting.
