St. Andrew's Dam and Lock is located on the Red River approximately 28 kilometers north of Winnipeg and south of Lake Winnipeg. The Red River floodway rejoins the Red River just down river from the dam. The American White Pelican is a protected species in Manitoba. The Pelican is fondly referred to as The Lockport Air Force or The Lockport Squadron.

Very nice capture Debra, The mist in the background too adds a nice element to the image. They look like such a happy lot in this image. I'm a bit confused by the website changes especially on how to hit a 'like' but hopefully will get it figured out soon :)

Like that shot Debra. With the enlarge mode the colours of the foreground and the sharp focus line of pelicans are very attractive. The dark background with the mist complete well the shot. Very nice.
