Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis)

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline.

Another lovely overcast day in Oakland. Caught this pelican on land (barely) grooming after a busy morning hunting.

Lol, this Pelican seems to be experience one of the downsides of having such a long bill. Great action and behavioral picture! Three fantastic posts Kevin!!!
