Unlike the Atlantic/Gulf variety, the California Brown Pelican gets a red pouch in winter. Both male and female get these colors, but female's pouch tend to be a bit paler.

Happy Pelican Friday!

Juvenile Brown Pelican landing. Birds have to brake hard when landing, they don't have wheels. Happy Pelican Friday!

An Oystercarcher at Point La Jolla. I like how the orange beak contrasts with the green moss.
