American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)
Photographed the American White Pelican at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park in Homosassa Springs Florida U.S.A.
American White Pelicans nest in colonies of several hundred pairs on islands in remote brackish and freshwater lakes of inland North America. The most northerly nesting colony can be found on islands in the rapids of the Slave River between Fort Fitzgerald, Alberta and Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. About 10-20% of the population uses Gunnison Island in the Great Basin's Great Salt Lake as a nesting ground. The southernmost colonies are in southwestern Ontario and northeastern California. Nesting colonies exist as far south as Albany county in southern Wyoming.
