American White Pelican Gliding Along by Debra Martz The American White Pelicans were flying to and fro at the spillway. The early morning light creating wonderful shadows. The shadows casted by the wings of this pelican created neat shapes making an almost abstract bird in flight image.

American White Pelican Calmly Watching by Debra Martz A single pelican was standing calmly on the dry spillway...maybe wondering where all the fish had gone.

Single American Pelican by Debra Martz The Great Salt Plains Lake in northern Oklahoma is a wonderful place to catch many birds during Fall Migration. This variety of pelicans arrives by the thousands last of Sept and early October. Sometimes it is not easy to get just a single one in an image. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved

American White Pelican In Flight by Debra Martz While there were 100s of the pelicans on the lake I took to the sky to catch one in flight on this beautiful autumn day.

Pelican Togetherness by Debra Martz When North America's second largest bird, with an average wingspan of 9 feet, flies in a tight-knit group like this, I wonder how they do it with such grace! But they do and I enjoyed watching 1000s of them flying all over and around the Great Salt Plains State Park and the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in northern Oklahoma during fall migration. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends 2" 20210929-DSC_6331

Angry Egret by Debra Martz Snowy Egrets are fun too watch as they are full of attitude! They are quite territorial, too, when it comes to who's fishing where! The lower, angry looking Snowy was going from side to side of this penisula chasing off other snowies! The American White Pelican just carried on with its fishing. Captured below the spillway at Great Salt Plains Lake in northern Oklahoma. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends2" 20200729-DSC_8512.NEF

Arriving A Bit Weathered and Worn by Debra Martz Over the first few weeks of October the American White Pelicans arrive daily on their fall migration from the north. This one was looking a bit haggard from its travels so I brighten it up a bit by adding some textures and painterly effects.

Quiet Alone Time ©Debra Martz While there were 1000s of American White Pelicans on the lake, this one found a bit of space to just float around in peace and quiet.

White American Pelican Peacefully Drifting by Debra Martz It was a beautiful, sunny winter day in February and this Pelican had separated from the larger flock that was busily feeding in the bay. This one chose to enjoy some peace and quiet by just lazily drifting.

A fun Pelican coastal bird

It is April and it is breeding season. Most birds change colors in plumage during this season or get additional features. The American White Pelicans grow a plate on the top of their massive bills and the colors of the bill become much more vibrant. They are a migratory bird that mainly breeds in the north and into Canada but some have become residents of the Great Salt Plains Lake in northern Oklahoma so I get to see them in all their phases. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends2" 2021-04-08-DSC_2793

American White Pelican Fishing Alone by Debra Martz I had been watching the Pelicans at the spillway for over 45 minutes with some fishing together and others alone like this one. The morning light plays an important part of the colors of the water. Only 18 minutes earlier the water was all solid gold during the golden hour; now only parts of the ripples are still reflecting that gold.

Early morning and the American White Pelicans begin to gather along with a few Snowy Egrets. It was a cool autumn morning at the Great Salt Plains State Park and steam was rising off the warmer waters on the spillway. Where the water comes off the spillway of the lake it flows into the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River in northern Oklahoma. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "Feathered Friends2" 20201004-DSC_0533.NEF
