A pelican is seen at Lake Ercek, located within the borders of Van's Ipekyolu and Tusba districts and 20 kilometers east of Lake Van, in Van, Turkiye on August 18, 2024. Declared in 2020 as a 'sensitive area to be strictly protected' by the Turkish Presidency, the lake stands out as the accommodation and breeding place of more than 200 bird species, both local bird species and migratory species. After resting for two days at Lake Ercek, which is not on its migration route, a pelican continued its journey. (Photo by Ali Ihsan Ozturk/Anadolu via Getty Images)
