Description
Comically Elegant Pelican by Debra Martz A partial description I read online stated the Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird...thus the title even though until then I had never consider elegant to describe a bird with such a huge bill! This Juvenile Brown Pelican was standing near the boat ramp at Goose Island State Park in Texas. It had been looking straight ahead in anticipation of the arriving fishermen to toss it a treat from the fish cleaning station but was watching me from its side view; no way was it going to leave its chance for free food. Then when I was about to walk away it turned to give me this pose with the light catching just right on its eye, side of face and bill.
Scientific name: Pelecanus occidentalis
