Description
An American White Pelican Swims In The Lights Of Night
One of North America's largest birds, the American White Pelican is distinctive for its nine-foot wingspan, conspicuous white body, and improbable proportions of its large bill and pouch. Despite their size, the pelicans are graceful fliers, with flocks soaring high in the air and wheeling in unison. In-flight, black wingtips and trailing edges are good field marks. American White Pelicans may be seen cooperatively foraging in shallow waters, or at adjacent loafing sites, where they are tolerant of human observation at a respectful distance.
