American White Pelicans

Free Desktop Wallpaper Background Image

As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop or phone wallpaper is very convenient!

Silhouetted Pelicans on the Bow River SE of Calgary

This month’s calendar image features a flock of American White Pelicans on the Bow River at Wyndham Carseland Provincial Park near Carseland on the prairies south east of Calgary. Large groups of Pelicans return to the prairies every spring and stay all summer. The Carseland Weir is a very popular place for these large birds to congregate because food is plentiful in the river and the fishing is easy below the weir. At times there are hundreds of pelicans (or more) in the park. If you’ve never been to the park it’s well worth a visit if only to see these wonderful birds!

You can purchase a print of this image or any of the previous month’s calendar images in the Fine Art Prints Gallery…
