White Pelican #1

White Pelican #1
The White Pelican is one of the largest North American birds with a wingspan of nearly nine feet. This one is a male as evidenced by the growth on its bill, something that the male displays only during breeding season. This one was photographed soaring above our home, the only time I've seen a pelican in our area.

Ulrich John, tiabunna, Don Sutherland, Annemarie and 5 other people have particularly liked this photo

That nose growth is unusual indeed, our pelicans don't have it. Great that you were able to catch it as it soared over, Ron.
