Portrait of an Australian Pelican

Feeling lucky that I can still take the odd bird photo whilst in lockdown.

Scientific name: Pelecanus conspicillatus

Yes! I wish I could learn how to use a camera as well as Jim  8)


We get plenty of entertainment from the pelicans at the lake and gut-hooked fish

I don't think we get Pelicans in Michigan. I believe we're either too far east of their fly way, or they found out my brother has a recipe for em.

A wonderful picture Jim!

Thanks for sharing it.

I believe that Galveston Bay is the home to one of the largest winter populations of Brown Pelicans in North America. 

One of my favorites.
