American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)
Everyone get out of my way!!!
Photographed the American White Pelican at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park in Homosassa Springs Florida U.S.A.
Apart from the difference in size, males and females look exactly alike. Immature birds have light grey plumage with darker brownish nape. Their bare parts are dull grey. Chicks are naked at first, then grow white down feathers all over, before moulting to the immature plumage.
