The American White Pelican - Pelecanus erythrorhynchos

White Pelicans stop off at various locations in the Tennessee River Valley on their migratory journey from the northern areas of our nation to the south coastal regions. Small bait fish in the Tennessee River provide nourishment for the completion of their 2000-3000 mile journey to our Gulf and  Atlantic coastal wintering areas.
