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. ☺️

They really are majestic, Berny! Lucky for us, they pass right over Florida every winter.
