White Pelicans off our seawall



American White Pelicans, winter visitors






They are very large birds, almost twice the size of the Brown Pelicans.




They can weigh as much as 30 pounds with a wingspan exceeding 9 feet.






They feed by scooping fish into their pouch while swimming along the surface.
