Pelicans

Lake Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico – 2022. These photos are of American White Pelicans which winter in Lake Chapala and breed in Canada and the northern U.S. The American White Pelican is North America’s largest flying bird. Due to their size they appear ungainly and almost comical when taking-off from or landing in the water. When flying they alternate between gliding and flapping and are much more graceful.
