STANDALONE PHOTO — Hundreds of pelicans inhabit small islands Wednesday, May 29, 2013 on Lake Winnebago about six miles north of Fond du Lac, Wis. Unlike the brown pelican, which dives for its food, white pelicans use their pouched bills to dip for fish near the surface. An adult white pelican can eat as much as three pounds of fish per day. The birds will swim in formation and herd fish to shore or to the middle of the flock if in open water. Then they dip and come up with lunch, unknowingly doing human fishers a big favor by skimming off the top of the lake up to 4 pounds of rough fish rather than game fish. These once scarce birds began to nest in Wisconsin in the late 1990Õs after a prolonged drought in the Dakotas caused some birds to shift their migration patterns eastward over Horicon Marsh and the Fox River Valley as well as the Mississippi River. They have established nesting areas in Lake Buttes de Morts and Green Bay. MARK HOFFMAN/MHOFFMAN@JOURNALSENTINEL.COM

A barge pushes goods under the Silver Memorial Bridge that spans the Ohio River between Gallipolis, Ohio and Henderson, West Virginia. The bridge was completed in 1969 as a replacement for the collapsed Silver Bridge, although it is located about 1 mile downstream of the original. The smaller green bridge is the Point Pleasant-Henderson Bridge over the Kanawha River, connecting Point Pleasant and Henderson, West Virginia, at the point where the Kanawha empties into the Ohio River.
