I thought Pelican's only lived in the warm climates, but these are both in Canada
I think.
White pelicans, larger than the brown pelicans you see along the Gulf Coast, breed on inland lakes, particularly in western Canada and the upper Midwest. Saw more than 100 white pelicans land on a pond less than 50 yards from me at the National Wildlife Refuge in Merritt Island, FL, two weeks ago. They winter in summer climes.
