Pelican Dives Into Fish School Dry Season
by Melvin Ali
Dust rises from the cracked earth as a pelican plunges headfirst toward a shimmering school of fish. The bird’s white feathers blur against the pale blue sky, wings tucked tight in a vertical dive. Dry grass stalks frame the lower edge, bending slightly under the tension of the moment. Distant haze softens the horizon line, separating the arid game trail from the faint outline of mountains. The water surface ripples violently where the bird enters, scattering silver flashes. Sharp shadows fall beneath the pelican, at the base of the action in the harsh clarity of early afternoon sun. One droplet hangs suspended mid-air near the impact zone, catching the light before falling back to the mud.
