American White Pelican

American White Pelican
The evening sun on the day I picked to visit the American White Pelicans gave these majestic birds a golden glow. Each year, they gather by the Weir on the Bow River in Calgary. There can be many dozens of them gathering at the same time and you can see the frenzy when several spot the same fish! Each bird is slightly different, with varying amounts of black on their feathers.

This photo has been used in "The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta", published 2007, which was a nice surprise!
