Today we went to Black Butte Lake and the pelicans were there! This is at the forebay, where a whole lot of water is being released into Stony Creek (tributary of the Sacramento River) mostly in case of future rain & snow melt #AmericanWhitePelican #BlackButteReservoir

Pelican Gliding on Tranquil Water by Debra Martz
As autumn migration progressed, numerous birds were making their way to South Texas. I observed a variety of shorebirds, diverse waterfowl, and the stunning American White Pelicans....in Port Aransas, TX, in Oct.

A small flock of American White #Pelicans swimming in a #pond in the marsh of the #Merritt Island #NationalWildlifeRefuge. White pelicans are less common than the related Brown Pelican.

Low flying.

Here is an American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) flying low over the Calcasieu Ship Channel, in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

"American White Pelicans cooperate when feeding. Sometimes, large groups gather in wetlands. They coordinate their swimming to drive schooling fish toward the shallows. The pelicans can then easily scoop up these corralled fish from the water." - allaboutbirds.org

A chaotic mass of American White #Pelicans swimming in the water at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Their bright white plumage really sets them apart from the common brown pelican.

#silentsunday White Pelicans at golden hour #americanwhitepelican #pelican #phoneography #photography

Beyond the treetops at Bybee Lake this morning, stream after stream of #pelicans climbing into the sky and coursing toward the Columbia. Several consecutive flocks of over 100 gigantic white birds; tallying by 10s and 20s, I lost all count at a low estimate of 600 individuals. One flock circled back, gliding directly overhead. Without a single wingbeat - yet the still air struck a penetrating, ventriloquistic HISS across their feathers as they passed.

Early morning visit today to Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to the aforementioned #BlackSwan, got nice looks at a flock of #AmericanWhitePelican foraging in the pond, and an elegant pair of #AmericanAvocet which are rare to the area.

After a busy day of fishing the local bay waters, these magnificent 7 American White Pelicans were photographed resting on the dock in the late afternoon sunlight. Always a joy to photography these gorgeous avians.

Floating.

Here is an American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) floating in the Calcasieu Ship Channel which connects the port of Lake Charles, Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico.

"In A Sand County Almanac, pioneering conservationist Aldo Leopold described a migrating group of American White Pelicans this way: “Let a squadron of southbound pelicans but feel a lift of prairie breeze… and they sense at once that here is a landing in the geological past, a refuge from that most relentless of aggressors, the future. With queer antediluvian grunts they set wing, descending in majestic spirals to the welcoming wastes of a bygone age.”" - allaboutbirds.org

These two beautiful snowy white American White Pelicans were seen swimming in the glassy black waters of the bay mangroves. These gorgeous creatures are winter visitors to the Sunshine State and we look forward every October to their return to our coastal environs. A color, black and white photo.

Flying low.

This is and American white pelican flying low over water in the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron Parish, Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. They kind of remind me of a flying boat or more accurately a flying boat reminds me of a pelican. This photo isn't quite as good as I hoped, but it'll do.

"One of the largest North American birds, the American White Pelican is majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look. On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for them on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter." - allaboutbirds.org

Caught this American White Pelican with “bottoms up” as it was going after its prey in a local estuary. While brown pelicans dive for their food, the American White forages for food while swimming along in the water. I liked the splash at it’s feet as it went head-first into the water.

Having fun with a photo I took of an American White Pelican. I gave him some razzle-dazzle, dressed him in turquoise and blue bead-like jewels and turned him into the whimsical, Bedazzled Pelican you see here. Is he ready to party? You bet!
