Great White Pelican - day 3

This African pelican first showed up on Sunday morning and has made repeated appearances at Ding Darling - mostly in the mornings and late afternoon. I returned this morning to get more looks just because this Pelican is just awesomely beautiful.
Her pastel colors are very apropos for the spring heading our way.

Side-by-side you can tell the difference between the two.







 And off she went at 10:00a.m. sharp.

    1. Thank you. It felt like such a privilege to be in the presence of this wild bird that originated from so far away - what a gift that was!

    1. I was there too on Sunday and I recall how far she was, I'm so glad that I returned on the following Tuesday and I feel really lucky that I saw her departure - it was the last time she was seen at the refuge.
