Brown Pelican
Mostly photographed at La Jolla, California or nearby, where cliffs are a magnet for these birds. Image 18 is of an immature bird in Mission Bay, San Diego, California. Image 19 was taken in Morro Bay, California, where these pelicans are present in very large numbers, including on breakwaters. The last image is from South Padre Island, Texas, where the color pattern is a bit different from the west coast birds.
American White Pelican
All images from various lakes and reservoirs in San Diego County, California. The last is from Lake Cuyamaca, a popular fishing lake (for humans and pelicans alike).
