Visiting the Pier with an Eastern Brown Pelican
The brown pelican has an 18-inch long bill and large throat pouch. Its head is white in front and dark brown behind, extending down the neck and back. During the breeding season, the white plumage turns a vibrant yellowish-gold color. Silver-gray feathers cover the rest of the pelican's body. The brown pelican weighs about 9 pounds and has a 6-foot wingspan. He/she sat on the rail just watching everybody walk by. This bird had no fear of humans.
