Splash Landing

American White Pelicans look elegant in flight, but take-offs and landings can be a messy sight. They are heavy-bodied and require a running start, and landings often involve a big splash.

 

They are a reliable constant at J.N."Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, so that's usually our first stop when visiting Florida.
