White Pelican

White Pelican
This White Pelican was photographed near Ellensburg, Washington, along the Yakima River. The "horn" on the beak is an indication that this is the breeding season and that this bird is an adult. Seeing a pelican always reminds of the stupid poem that begins:
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican...

Good in-flight capture, Ron. That horn on the bill is certainly different.
