While yesterdays post featured one of the smallest birds in North America todays trio of American White Pelicans features one of North Americas largest birds. We watched a large group of Pelicans lounging and preening on recent morning and this trio seemed right at the center of the action in addition to being full of personality to say the least.
Interesting shot with layers of birds, and I love their eyes!
Hi Eliza and yes they really have unique eyes. They so seem crystal clear and blue at times.
For some reason pelicans always remind me of teenagers…, gangly, large and awkward looking.
Hi Mario, they are all that and more. Sometimes Pelicans also remind me of grumpy of men. Just hanging out on the porch being grumpy.
I don’t think I have ever noticed their beaks before. They look like cartoon characters! But beautiful shot.
Those beaks really are something especially when they have the little breeding bumps on them.
