In lieu of readers’ wildlife today, we’ll have a beautiful landscape by Stephen Barnard, and in it somewhere is a passel of American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos). Can you spot them? Stephen issues a challenge: “I doubt that anyone could spot the American White Pelicans this photo.”
Yes, I know that “passel” isn’t the proper term for a group of pelicans! The photo will be large, and will overlap the writing to the right when first posted, but I’ll quickly post something else to get the words out of the way. Wait ten minutes after posting before you try to find them.
Alternatively, you can click on the photo twice (with a break between the clicks) to get a standalone photo.
Now, gaze on the splendor of Idaho and find those pelicans! I’ll post the answer at 11 a.m. Chicago time. Don’t reveal the answer in the comments, though you can say if you’ve successfully found the birds.
I think so.

I enjoy these “Find the _____” posts. It reminds me of the hidden pictures in “Highlights for Children.” I love this adult version! 🙂
O, I do, too. And exactly, Ms Schulz, for that “Highlights for Kiddos” – reason !
That is a phenomenal landscape. I have seen your horseshoe channel, Mr Barnard, before. Is it swimmable ? by one human, I mean, and not by a passel thereof (as that’d be awfully disruptive of its passivity !) ? or so at a time, that is ?
Blue
The only swimming done there is by fly fishermen who make a misstep.
The Voice Of Experience?
I’ve taken a few dunks over the years, but never there.
A remarkable bird is the pelican
His beak can hold more than his belly can…………..
……..
How the hell he can.
A bellycan of pelicans?
How about a “Gulp” of Pelicans?

Whoops, should read posting first. Besides, I’m sure I’m wrong anyways. Apologies for breaking da roolz! 🙁
Well done Jerry! But I got it! 🙂
Lovely landscape! Pretty clean sensor you have there Stephen! 🙂
I see them.
Reminds me of a horrible duet by Dolly & Kenny.
Great pano shot. But I don’t see any birds.
Bugger the pelicans, look at that view.
I stopped looking for them and got lost in the landscape, I could happily see out my days in that place.
