White Pelicans

You are very perceptive. I have, indeed, tinkered a little with this picture. Taken at Skaggs Island a couple of days ago. Lately I haven't seen many American White Pelicans, so I was really pleased to see this group overhead. These are really very large birds, 62" (158 cm) long, with a wingspan of 108" (274 cm). As far as I know, males and females look alike. They are usually found in flocks.
