American White Pelicans
.
Not only having at least 15 bird species in one wetland area at the same time, it was awesome to have one of them in numbers to be the American White Pelican.

The American White Pelican is the second largest North American bird (after the California Condor).

Certainly the king of the birds here, as the other birds made sure to get out of those big pelicans’ way!
