Description
Adult American White Pelicans are snowy white with black flight feathers visible only when the wings are spread. A small patch of ornamental feathers on the chest can become yellow in spring. The bill and legs are yellow-orange. Immatures are mostly white as well, but the head, neck, and back are variably dusky.

What a beautiful photograph, Shoal! You captured this Pelican at just the right moment in his flight - he looks so graceful!
