With a wingspan of 95 to 115 inches (244-290 cm), the American White Pelican is one of the largest birds in North America. It’s quite amazing to have one fly right over you!
For such a big bird they make a remarkably delicate landing, with very little splash.
Amazing indeed, wonderful light and detail!
Thanks, Belinda! It was neat to see how the light shone through his wings.
Your undershot is spectacular, Ellen, so perfect!
Thanks, Donna. It was neat to have him so low and hear the sound of the wings.
