EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning photograph, a flock of American White Pelicans gracefully soars through the clear blue sky over Clinton County, Illinois. The American White Pelican, scientifically known as Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, is the largest North American pelican species, with a wingspan reaching up to nine feet. Their distinctive pouchless bills and large webbed feet make them easily identifiable. Richard and Susan Day captured this breathtaking moment as the pelicans glided effortlessly in their natural habitat. The serene scene is a testament to the beauty and elegance of these magnificent birds. The pelicans' coordinated movements and synchronized wing beats create a mesmerizing display of avian grace. The American White Pelican is a social species that forms large colonies during breeding season. They are found primarily in the western and central United States and southern Canada. These birds feed mainly on fish, using their large bills to scoop up schools of fish from shallow waters. The tranquil setting of Clinton County, Illinois, provides an ideal environment for these birds to thrive. The area's abundant water sources and diverse habitats make it an essential stopover for migrating pelicans. The scene captured by Richard and Susan Day highlights the importance of preserving these natural habitats and protecting these magnificent creatures. This photograph by Danita Delimont, from DanitaDelimont.com, is a beautiful reminder of the natural wonders that exist in our world. It inspires us to appreciate the beauty of nature and the importance of conservation efforts to ensure the survival of species like the American White Pelican.
