White pelicans in snow

[D. Robert Franz]

Along the Yellowstone River the white pelicans drift down stretches hunting fish and then will fly back up river a ways to do all over again.

what a unique capture. I've always envisioned these as tropical birds.

Very lovely composition and the snow falling is a definite bonus as well as great timing to catch the two flying together. I too had considered these birds as tropical.

I've always envisioned these as tropical birds.

White pelicans nest inland in the central and Western US up into Canada. There is a large nesting colony on Yellowstone Lake..

You don't see White Pelicans in snow here in FL :). This is a very nice image.
