I was happy to get this photo of an American White Pelican,
Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, stretching its wings to show the black wing tips that are usually visible only in flight. With an 8 foot (243cm) or more wingspan, the White Pelican is one of the largest American flying birds.
I hope you have a beautiful day!
