Description: White Pelicans...It has a wingspan of about 95–120 in The species
also has the second largest average wingspan of any North American
bird, after the California condor. This large wingspan allows the bird
to easily use soaring flight for migration. Body weight can range
between 7.7 and 30 lb

10 Foot Wingspans and 30 lbs!!(see short video attached) Instead of
a Flying V, they prefer a ""checkmark"". They visit for the winter and
then return home up north.

    10' wing span and 30 pounds. That could do some serious damage in a midair collision.

    Love those birds! I got a lucky chance to ""fly"" with some once, just south of St. Augustine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxXXXfKa3v0
