Pelecanus erythrorhynchos American White Pelican

    This mixed group of American White and Brown Pelicans was photographed by Joel Wooster in Oak Hill, Volusia County, Florida on 1/24/2006. Both species are normally wary and difficult to approach for photography. However, once fed they lose their fear of man and eventually can become somewhat of a pest as depicted below.
