American White Pelican

American White Pelicans at Baker's Lake, Cook County, Illinois. Pelicans appear
almost annually here, but rarely more than a couple are seen and they often don't
stay long. I wonder if these non-breeding wanderers are here this year because their
regular haunts are flooded out.


Here is a link to a video of their foraging behavior, vastly different from the
Brown Pelican which often plunge-dives, sometimes from great heights, for its fish.

The flight shots are from Door County, WI.
