Brown Pelican

Pelecanus occidentalis

Description:

This is a romantic photograph of three brown pelicans fighting for scraps of fish thrown from a commercial pier. Heh. I do love brown pelicans, but they can be quite rough to one another at times. These species is *very* much abundant throughout east-central Florida (and elsewhere, of course). [jansonjones http://dusttracks.com]
