Pelicans in FW?

It might have been a breeding horn -- I wasn't real close but that could have been it. Thanks for the information -- never heard of that before.

Cheers,
Brad

They literally grow a horn when they are horny? 

About the only place you’ll see American White Pelicans and Brown Pelicans mix is in brackish water like the mouth of the Russian River and estuaries. Their feeding methods are totally different adaptations; the browns plunge out of the sky in that classic dive, and whites swim in circles “herding” schools of fish together and dipping for them simultaneously. The commonality is feeding on densely schooling fish like threadfin shad in fresh or anchovies and mackerel in salt.


“A wonderful bird is the Pelican
His bill can hold more than his bellican
What he holds in his beak
Can last him a week
And I’m damned if I know how the hellican!

Ran across this video of them stocking the pond at camanche lake.  Half dozen of them right there gobbling up trout as they stocked it!

That's some expensive pelican food...

I heard pelican is tasty ? Is there a bag limit on them ?
