Wow, I bet he wished he'd stayed further south. Unique and very lovely.

I learned on UHH what that bump is, if you're interested. Or do you know already?

It's related to courtship and only seen in breeding season. The colors of their feet and bill (pouch?) are more vibrant also. American White Pelicans are the only pelican species to exhibit this change. Fun factoid of the day?
