I tried to lighten this one...please click to enlarge and get a better view.
We saw these on the Mississippi...I first thought pelican and then I thought no. I really don't know their range. Then I have just been checking out the internet a little and still undecided. So, tell me what you think they are.
Rose, I think that's a really good idea. We could just post an announcement on our pages for anyone who wants to participate. It would be interesting to see the differences!
ReplyDeleteBTW - they look like pelicans to me, that's what I would call them if I saw them in my back yard.
I'd say you're right, they're White Pelicans.
ReplyDeleteThey look like pelicans to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd say pelicans...but I've only seen pelicans in pictures. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was pelican, so if that is what everyone else thinks, I will stick with it. I'm really not sure....don't see many pelicans :-) Nice shots, even from a distance.
ReplyDeletePelican would be my choice. Fine action shots.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was pelican and since there are many varieties it very well could be.
ReplyDeleteNice action shots.
As a resident of Louisiana, I assure you that these are pelicans. Hard to tell, but they may actually be our state bird, the brown pelican.
