Description
A trio of white pelicans were coming in for a landing to join their flock. White pelicans appear totally white when floating in the water, but reveal beautiful black wing tips when flying. They are related to the brown pelican but are much larger with an adult pelican having a wing span between 6 to 12 feet.
These beauties were captured on the Mississippi River near Alton, Illinois. We caught them in March when they were migrating from the Gulf of Mexico on their way to Minnesota.
