American White Pelicans

My apologies for being offline for awhile. I've been busy with shenanigans involving the ACT and work for my college speech class. Luckily, I'm all caught up with everything now. Better yet, I still found time to go birding in these last few weeks.

 

This charming pair of American White Pelicans were found sporting their breeding plumage on Big Woods Lake last weekend. Those 'horns' on the ends of their bills are part of their breeding plumage and they fall off once breeding season is over.

 

I realize I'm quite behind on everyone's posts so please bear with me and I'll do my best to catch up on all of your latest posts :)
