American White Pelicans,
Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, are large migratory birds that breed as far north as central Canada. We see them here in the southern United States only in the Winter months. Their primary food is fish that they scoop up in their large bills and swallow whole. They do not dive into the water like their cousins the Brown Pelicans do.
Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDelete...nice to see, but they would be ice covered today here!
ReplyDeleteThat is why they are Down South instead of Up North!
DeleteI don't think I have seen them up here - only in Florida in the winter.

I miss seeing pelicans skimming over the ocean waves. We don't see them in BC, at least where we live now. - Margy
