EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking print captured by the talented John Cancalosi, we witness the awe-inspiring sight of an American White Pelican soaring through the skies with its immense nine-foot wingspan. This magnificent bird, always dressed in a pristine white plumage adorned with striking black flight feathers, is truly a sight to behold. Known for their exceptional fishing skills, these pelicans gracefully skim across rivers and freshwater bodies in small groups, effortlessly snatching fish from beneath the surface. While generally silent away from their nesting grounds, at their nests they emit quiet and low grunting sounds that add to their charm. Found primarily on lakes and shallow lagoons, as well as rivers throughout North America's United States region, these incredible creatures usually choose islands within large lakes or inland areas for nesting purposes. During breeding season, they even sport a keel on their upper bill – talk about stylish accessorizing! So next time you find yourself near Wyoming's scenic landscapes or any other North American waterways, keep your eyes peeled for these elegant aviators. And if you're lucky enough to capture them mid-flight like John Cancalosi did here – don't forget to appreciate nature's wonders and let your imagination take flight alongside them!
