Six American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) were in red dirt water with hundreds of Double-crested Cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) at Lake Thunderbird in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on March 29, 2025. Most of the birds are floating facing into the wind and bobbing up and down on the waves. The water is red from Oklahoma red dirt.
