American White Pelican

Pelecanus erythrorhynchos

Description:

Very large bird, could see it easily from a far. Large wing span with black on the tips. Also had a "bump" on the bill close to the end away from the eyes.

Habitat:

This pelican was found on one of the lakes in Big Bear early in the morning. It was harassing one of the other birds that had a fish.

Notes:

I would find the birds huddled together in the mornings in the middle of the lake
