White pelican

For the second time in about a week I have seen a white pelican on the retention pond where I work. The first time, about a week ago, I happened to see the bird gliding in for a landing. It was an awesome site, this big white bird with a nine-foot wingspan gliding in so elegantly and gracefully for a landing on the water. I missed it landing this time. Both times it has gone about looking for something to eat. Not sure there are any fish in the retention pond but it sure is checking it out. Wish I had a camera so I could get a pic. I will probably need my 35mm. Not sure my digital can get in close enough.
