I captured this image recently at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. When I was there there were five White Pelicans, recent reports now say there are thirteen at the lake. It is not uncommon to have more than a hundred cruising the lake fishing in a pack along with Comorants. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
