American White Pelicans are paddlers that eat by scooping up beak-fuls of water. This one was slowly drifring along the edge of a pond.
Then he stood up and waded away. Made me laugh.

That’s a thank-you. He wanted you to take his picture. Sweet!
🙂 It was mutual! Thanks, Liz!
What a beautiful bird. Lovely photos, Ellen.
Thank you, Peter. These Pelicans are surprisingly graceful for their size and fun to watch.
