Two very charming White Pelicans were sunning themselves on a sand bar one day . . .
. . . preening and looking quite lovely. . . 
. . . older on the left, younger on the right. 
When all of a sudden, a newcomer flew in and landed right on their sandbar. 
Hmmmm . . . He got the once over from one Pelican . . . 
. . . and apparently got the approval to stick around. (White Pelicans are very gregarious, of course ☺️ All About Birds-White Pelican). And then there were three. ☺️
Very pretty and majestic birds!
I love pelicans in flight!
Nice post!
Thanks!
They really are majestic, Berny! Lucky for us, they pass right over Florida every winter.

One of the best places to catch the White ones. Nice captures.
Yes, we always see lots of them when we go to the gulf coast at this time of year. I enjoyed seeing yours, too, Ted!
I could watch pelicans all day. Your photos show off the beautiful pink and orange hues of the white pelican, BJ. Lovely.
Thanks so much, Jet! I agree… Their colors are so beautiful … and they have such personality!
Spectacular captures! ❤
Much appreciated, Donna! They make wonderful subjects!☺️
Aren’t they wonderful 😊
Yes-fabulous to see, Belinda☺️
Lovely birds! Great captures, Carol. 🙂
Thanks, HJ!
Wonderful captures of these beauties!
They were just close enough to get some good shots, Ellen. I love their faces!
They sure wear white well!
It never ceases to amaze me how many white birds we see here in Florida that stay so pure white. These very large pelicans are real beauties.
What beauties!
Agreed, Pam…Such a treat to watch them!
Great bird portraits! 🙂

Me too… They look so delightful sitting there on the sandbar!
