Description
Brown Pelicans are soclal creatures and usually hang out together. Here they are, enjoying a beautiful morning and occasionally looking out for fish to catch. But they're not too hungry in this photo and are probably enjoying the morning's cool breeze.
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. Squadrons glide above the surf along southern and western coasts, rising and falling in a graceful echo of the waves. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction.
Photo taken on March 3, 2021, on S Padre Island, Texas.
