Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Dalmatian pelican
- Step 1: Notable bird species found here include the Dalmatian pelican, great white pelican, great egret, pygmy cormorant, and golden eagle. Answer: Dalmatian pelican. Why not the others: "Greater flamingo" is a migratory visitor to coastal lagoons like Missolonghi rather than Prespa; "White stork" nests on village rooftops across northern Greece rather than deep lake reeds; "Eurasian spoonbill" breeds in smaller scattered colonies in the Evros and Axios deltas.
