Hi I took this picture on the big Sur in California in June several years ago but I just noticed there is a sea bird in the sky and I wondered if anybody could work out what it was I was mainly focusing on the elephant seals so apologies that it’s not a great shot of the bird. Many thanks in anticipation

Brown Pelican? Was watching them feeding off Santa Monica Pier 9 years ago.

Ditto to Brown Pelican; the pale belly and stripe down the wing makes it an immature (1st or 2nd year).
