American White Pelicans

[Bob Israel]

American white pelicans migrated to the lake in spring but then a group of 8 or so have returned. If last year is any indication, they'll be around for most of the summer.

Neat to see the differences in size compared to the seagull in the last image. Great shots of your new neighbors.

So cool Bob! My favorites are #3 and 4.

It looks like the male Pelicans in #1 have a coordinated dance going on. I wonder who won?

great series, Bob. Every photo is a gem. That ringbill should be wary of a hungry pelican.

I think the birds on the end are saying, "We can't hear you!"

That's hilarious, Bob.
