Hello all... These american white pelicans winter here in Dallas at a local lake. Every time I visit with them they show me something different in terms of behavior. On this day after landing they would take a couple of good dunks... dipping thier heads below the water as any water bird does. Afterwards however they would start flapping thier wings and slapping the water quite vigorously... Lots of water and lots of noise. This appeard to be some kind of grooming behavior... If someone knows for sure I'd love to hear more about it.
What's all the flap about?
