How high do pelicans fly anyhow?A layer of special fibers deep in the breast muscles can hold the wings rigidly horizontal for gliding and soaring. Thus they can exploit thermals to commute over 150 km (100 miles) to feeding areas.
Most pelican formations I have seen they are at wavetop height. Maybe Snort taught them how to fly.
