No wonder it looks so sunny and the water looks less murky than here.

This is an American White Pelican. Seen yesterday in the Homosassas Springs State Park.

In the breeding season, the birds have a flat growth on the beak (like in this photo) which is shed after they have mated and laid their eggs.
