Last week the puzzler was a swallow-tailed kite–which you may know, is a lovely black and white bird of prey. Here is another black and white bird. Can you recognize it from below? These birds were high above me, floating on invisible air currents when I took this photo. What bird is this?

I see these in Florida. My guess is white ibis?
American white pelican!
Ahh, you are the only one with a correct answer so far! Way to go!
One of my favorite birds. Until recently we lived in the midwest near the Mississippi River. In the Spring, as the Bald Eagles were starting to head north, you’d catch a glimpse of something high in the sky, and look up to see the American White Pelicans flying in a V formation. They would stay in the area by the thousands over the summer.
Lots of fun to watch. And huge.

Yes, they are lots of fun to watch. With such a giant wingspan and such grace in the air, it is awesome to see a lot of these soaring high above. … thanks for reading! And for your guess–and great photos! Thanks for sharing.
sea gulls?
No, but thanks for guessing! These birds have orange legs and feet and a really BIG wingspan! Maybe you want to guess again?

Look more closely, maybe on a bigger monitor.
