California Brown Pelican

Pelecanus occidentalis

Habitat:

Salt Bay

Notes:

I saw this large bird last July. I have always enjoyed seeing this strange, but graceful bird fly over the ocean and beach. Often they will fly in lines. I have observed pelicans stooping from above the water and diving down to catch a fish.
