It's just a normal pelican, nothing special, but I was so happy to finally be able to go to the zoo again.

Es ist nur ein normaler Pelikan, nichts besonderes, aber ich war so glücklich, endlich wieder mal in den Zoo gehen zu können.

The Pelicans at Beaumaris Lake here in Edmonton are providing us with many great photo ops. I posted two images.

The Dalmatian pelican can grow up to 1.8 metres in length – that’s 5ft 9. They have a wingspan of almost three metres and weigh more than 10kg.

The avian influenza wave of 2022 affected the Near Threatened Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) in most of its European range, but the effect on the Lesser (Mikri) Prespa Lake colony, in north-west Greece, the largest colony of the species, was devastating.

The first deaths were recorded in mid February, a week after the first Dalmatian pelicans arrived at Prespa. In the following weeks, the mortality rate peaked, then slowed down after mid March and ceased by the end of April. All dead pelicans were adults in breeding plumage. Laboratory results indicated the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain, clade 2.3.4.4b. By the end of April, 1,734 Dalmatian pelicans had died, c. 60% of the colony.

Number 5 in the series folks,hope your not getting tired of my nonsense. This is a very large bird and had never seen this behavior where he could just spring himself into action and take off, usually they have to make a running start to get airborne, but not so in this case, that said I have 2 more and this will end the series of my Pelican adventure.

Thank you all for the visit, and have aa wonderful day.

Actually, I was looking for the mating pair of Peregrine Falcons, but the Brown Pelicans did keep doing fly-bys of the seaside cliffs to keep me entertained. This was the only one I got in full breeding color though.

Taken in Cypress Hills, which is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the prairies. It is an interprovincial park located in the 2 provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. We only went to the Alberta side.

It was shot in the Florida Keys

FlyFisherMike and I spotted several of these feeding in the lower channel at Sardis Dam in Mississippi. However, this young bird caught something after several attempts.

One of the famous four. Taken in St James`s Park.

A dock near our restaurant had Brown Pelicans patiently waiting for fishermen to come in with their catch.

This morning was surprisingly foggy but the pelicans still showed.
