The American White Pelican is a large bird. It can reach a weight of 19.8 pounds, and reach
5 feet, 3inches in length with a wingspan of 9 ½ feet. This bird was photographed landing in a water
impoundment at the Viera Wetland, near Viera, Florida. White pelicans are common birds during the
winter and early spring at Viera, but come late March they begin winging toward
the Northwest to nesting grounds in Utah, Wyoming, California and wetlands
further north.
