Freshwater Pelican Pelicans Taking Off Wings
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Feathers, Flights, and Fishy Delights - The Majestic American White Pelican Takes the Rapids by Storm!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by John Cancalosi, we witness the awe-inspiring moment when an immense American White Pelican gracefully lands amidst rushing river rapids. With its impressive nine-foot wingspan outstretched in all its glory, this colossal bird effortlessly dominates the scene. Always dressed to impress in a pristine white plumage with striking black flight feathers, our pelican friend flaunts a vibrant yellow-orange or pinkish beak that adds a pop of color to its elegant ensemble. Talk about fashion-forward! Known for their exceptional fishing skills, these water-loving creatures swim in small groups while skillfully snatching fish from beneath the surface. And don't let their silence fool you! Away from nesting grounds, they remain generally quiet but unleash low grunting sounds when tending to their nests. Whether found on lakes, shallow lagoons or rivers like this one in Wyoming's breathtaking landscape, these pelicans prefer nesting on islands within large bodies of water or inland areas. During breeding season, they even sport a unique keel on their upper bill - talk about accessorizing with style! So next time you find yourself near freshwater wonders across North America's beautiful United States - keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent birds as they take flight and grace us with their presence.
