American White Pelican | Walden, Colorado | May, 2012

Posted in Birds, Colorado, Location, Pelicans and Cormorants, White Pelicans

The large bump on the nose of this bird is only present during the breeding season. These pelicans do not dive into the water like Brown Pelicans, but feed by dipping their beak into the water and scooping up fish. They spend the winter along the Gulf Coast, Mexico and southern California. | MC59-0074
