American white pelicans gathering on stones in Wascana Creek, just below where water from the lake of the same name spills into the creek. On most summer morning the pelicans can be found there, preening or resting.

there's always one

American white pelicans gather on rocks in Wascana Creek, where water from the lake of the same name flow into the creek, under the Albert Memorial Bridge. The north side of the creek, from which this was taken, is much higher due to a berm that was constructed as a flood protection measure. The pelicans congregate together, but in this instance one is looking for breakfast by the south side of the creek.

I am fascinated by how American white pelicans hang out with each other. In this case two of them paddle along in sync with each other.

I look forward to the return of the White American Pelicans each spring. When the water level on Wascana Creek declines and the stones are visible again they gather in the morning to preen or hang out together. I took this image during my first visit with them in 2025.

Pelicans paddling on a lake in Prince Albert National Park. I am fascinated by pelicans. They seem to be very social birds.

I didn't have s particularly long lens on when I took this image, so a cropped aggressively to home in on this line of pelicans cruising on Waskesiu Lake. This was taken during a trip to Prince Albert National Park.

meeting at the spillway

Pelicans perched along the spillway from Wascana Lake into the creek of the same name. I think the aerated water likely attracts them because they more easily find a meal there. Maybe they just like the sound of rushing water, and each other's company.

Pelicans in flight are graceful and powerful. They are also a challenge to track in the air. The framing of this image could be better, but at least I got the shot.

Tracking birds in flight is a challenge. This is the best of several attempts to capture these pelicans in flight, while another looks on. This image was taken at Prince Albert National Park, in Saskatchewan.

One of these White American pelicans decided it was time to move to another part of the bay, and some of them began to follow.

I don't usually anthromorphize animal behaviour, but this image of White American pelicans on Wascana Creek seemed to call out for an exception.
