Today's alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is #WhatTheFlock
Here are some American white pelicans
#AmericanWhitePelican #pelicans #PelicansAreWeird #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #photography #birds #waterfowl #largebirds #🪶
Many all white birds with fluffed feathers float in a cluster on a still lake. The birds have long, thick yellow beaks.
I think I’ll also do @alan678.bsky.social’s alt of #WhatTheFlock because the #AmericanWhitePelican migration is quite a sight! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #ECK

Three American White Pelicans drift shoulder to shoulder, bills low in the current, each watching the same moment pass by. Quiet teamwork in open water.

An American White Pelican passes overhead, wide wings holding firm while the air does most of the work.

The American White Pelican trails its bill along the river’s surface, body slightly tipped, tail sitting low in the water. It feels more like listening than hunting.

The American White Pelican drifts past on calm water, white feathers soft against the grey, but the deep blue eye cuts through everything.

Have you seen pelicans in Ohio? There were 19 of them at Big Island Wildlife Area west of Marion last weekend.

Wings flare and slow the fall as the American White Pelican meets the water, feet touching down with a light splash.

American White Pelicans move in a tight line, wings brushing cold air, stepping past the last stubborn ice like spring finally has the upper hand.

An American White Pelican glides low over rippled water with wings fully spread, showing striking white plumage and black flight feathers, with its orange bill pointed forward and a soft reflection visible below.

Unlike their Brown Pelican cousins, American White Pelicans don't dive for fish — they scoop them up while swimming. But in the air? Pure elegance

A mob of breeding plumage #AmericanWhitePelican had descended into Northern Illinois a bit ahead of schedule. These fine folk were drifting away after I had visited a new forest preserve.

An American White Pelican drifts low, bill just under the surface, feeling more than seeing as it works the shallow water.

American White Pelican cruising the Lewis River in Washington State. The bill adornment means it's mating season. Horizontal color photograph: the bird is swimming right-to-left across the frame, leaving a trail in the water behind him (not big enough to be wake). The pelican is pure white, with a yellow patch around its blue eye, and an orange bill. About 2/3 of the way down the bill is a small, sail-looking protrusion that indicates mating season.

Six birds flying in a sky that is completely blue. Five birds are in a diagonal straight line, with their wingtips overlapping. One bird is behind the others and slightly to one side. All of the birds have their wings completely outstretched. They are white, but the backs and tips of their wings are black. Their beaks are long and yellowish in color. Their tails are short.
American white pelicans. I believe they are migrating. I don't remember seeing them in Indiana in the past.

The image is of four American White Pelicans floating on the water fishing at a lake in Wisconsin. The bird in the middle has it's large bill open.
Last week was a blizzard and 14" snow, yesterday was Spring and 74F. I had a nice long hike and saw some welcome visitors on their way north.

American white pelican floating on gray, wind-ruffled water, its long yellow bill angled forward and white feathers sitting low against the surface.
