Very cool! Where is this? I'm kind of surprised that the birds weren't going after your drone.

I know, you hear so many reports here on this site but they obviously didnt. They get close, esp seagulls. I have another video showing the baby gulls and pelicans.

The gulls around here go after my drone almost every time I fly it as well as other predatory birds. Don't Pelicans go after drones?

Interesting that the pelicans are so dark feathered. Here they are white, but then again our swans are black!

Those are the young pelicans (I think-not an ornithologist). The adults have the stripes here.

They come close for sure but I go in slow and they are now used to the drone over several visits. The island is about 1.5 miles in the middle of the ocean. Its a very cool place.
