[obol] albino pelicans (and more)

[Cindy Ashy]

Thanks for the info Dan. I asked because even though I
know that White Pelicans are larger overall than Brown
Pelicans, I noticed there is a slight overlap in size
ranges...and if I saw a white pelican flying in
formation with Brown Pelicans and it was about the
same size, I might think it was an albino Brown
Pelican instead of a White Pelican. I did find one
reference to an albino Brown Pelican in Elkhorn Slough
(Monterey Bay) - photo about mid-way down page:
