Pelican opens up and says “ahh” – in flight!

Kind of a funny capture from this past weekend. The action was pretty light at this lake in northern Colorado with lots of sitting and waiting. The pelicans did provide some entertainment with flybys but none quite as amusing as this one. I have never seen a pelican do this in mid-air before and have no idea why it did it. Perhaps catching bugs? Maybe had a hair in its mouth it was trying to get rid of?
