Brown Pelican

Pelecanus occidentalis

Description:

All tucked in for a rest. There were many different pelicans hanging around the pier last Sunday. Waiting for some handouts which happen a little later in the day. They sell fish for the tourists to feed to them. The bait shack wasn't open yet so they were having a rest while waiting.

Habitat:

Tampa Bay, Gulf of Mexico
