Here are a few photos of both juvenile and adult brown pelicans. They tend to gather around more at crowded costal areas and show little fear to humans.

Jack, the birds with the yellow feathers on their heads are adults, male or female. The ones with a brown heads are juveniles. The bill is generally grayish overall in most birds, though breeding birds' bills become reddish.
Cool series bro. The males have the yellow feathers on the head and the red beak, right?
