Off on an adventure during the first week of summer
This American White Pelican is flying past an island with nesting California Gulls on it. It the distant background you can see the Rocky Mountains which still have some snow on them.
This photo was taken on a during one of the first few days of summer at Frank Lake, Alberta, Canada
One interesting fact I found about these birds is that American white pelican embryos squawk before hatching to express discomfort if conditions get too hot or cold.
