We enjoyed watching this Brown Pelican diving beak-first into the water at Santa Cruz, CA. The two gulls would fly nearby to snatch up any fish they might be able to steal!
Grassy Point Nature Preserve, FL March 19, 2008 This handsome guy was resting on a dock piling at Grassy Point in Fundy Bay.
These Brown Pelicans are in their breeding colors. Unfortunately, they may not have much luck this year with the impending oil spill looming in the Gulf of Mexico. We were at St. George Island, FL for our son's wedding in May 2010. His wife and I spotted these birds sitting on old pilings in Apalachicola Bay, so we stopped to get some photos.
