Alberta's official bird. This is the only one I have ever seen at a bird rescue center.</p>

This was taken at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, which was known to local residents, in less marketing driven times, as the Wild Animal Park. When I think &quotGreat White&quot, a pelican is not what will come to mind. I can't recall seeing pictures of pelicans flying off with seals in their pouches, or surfers driven from the h2o by reports of pelican sightings. Nevertheless, a sign identified this bird as a Great White Pelican. Still, seeing this buffed out bird raising it's powerful wings like this, and I start to wonder if the rumors of rampant steroid use among pelicans are true . That would explain the tattoos and piercings. This might make the cover of Pelican Life Magazine. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/4307911676/#/photos/9422878@N08/4307911676/in/set-72157623760809326/">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/4307911676/#/photos/942...</a>
