Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this week's wild bird I am sharing the American White Pelican.. It is one of North America's largest birds. The Pelicans remind me of a prehistoric bird.
A view of the Pelican's white and black wings..
Both the White and Brown Pelicans are another one of my favorite birds..Groups of Pelicans have been known to work together to herd fish..
A side look at the Pelican's pouch. They use the pouch to scoop up fish..
We saw a lot of White Pelicans during our Outer Banks, NC visit. But, the Brown Pelicans out numbered most of the birds we saw.. In the Outer Banks there is a place called Pelican Island. A known Brown Pelican rookery that began in the 1980's. Between 500-1500 Brown Pelican fledglings can emerge from this rookery.
Another view of the Pelican's huge wing span.. I hope you enjoyed my Pelican post.. Till next week's wild bird post.. I wish you happy Birding and have a wonderful week!
