A couple of weeks ago a small group of 11 American White Pelicans showed up at Brunswick Point. While I did manage to see them, they were just too far off for photos. A couple of days ago a larger group of 44 birds arrived and I managed to get out there this afternoon. While still quite some distance away,

… they were close enough for some photos today.

The American White Pelican is a rare visitor for coastal BC, but will summer in the interior of the province. And what would a coastal BC photo be without a shot of BC Ferries in the background ;-)

So I was a little happier today getting some usable photos and adding another species to my life photo list.
