Description
American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) just cruising along the waters at Fort Myers Beach, Florida.
One of North America's largest birds, the American White Pelican is distinctive for its nine-foot wingspan, conspicuous white body, and the improbable proportions of its large bill and pouch. In breeding condition, they have a distinctive knob protruding upward from the upper mandible. Webbed feet make these pelicans strong swimmers.
