American white pelicans are always impressive looking. There are a few that live year-round at Hagerman NWR in north Texas, but they don't gather in large numbers like they do along the Gulf coast. I always enjoy watching them preen; they're surprisingly graceful.
Fun fact: American white pelicans don't dive for their prey like brown pelicans do. They fish from the surface of the water.
