Brown Pelican

Pelecanus occidentalis

Description:

Juvenile

Habitat:

Harbor

Notes:

the water looks dirty, but that was just a reflection of the cloudy day. The pelican was in no danger from oil or other pollutants. I would have made a stink if it had been, "Forget photos, we need to save this bird."
