Description
I was at a large lage dotted with these beautiful large birds, American White Pelicans, everywhere swimming and flying, and a group on the shore in the distance. I love how they ski across the water for a distance on landing!
From Cornell Ornithology's website: "One of the largest North American birds, the American White Pelican is majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look. On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for them on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter."
Photo taken on October 28, 2018, near Hygiene, Colorado at Lagerman Reservoir.
