Pelecanus occidentalis Brown Pelican |
This curious specimen was photographed while standing on the beach with a flock of gulls at Huguenot Memorial Park, Duval County, Florida on 3/3/2007. However, his curiosity was soon satisfied and he flew out to sea to escape the approaching photographer. This species is a common fixture on northeast Florida beaches and is listed by the State of Florida as a "Species of Special Concern" due to its former low population levels. |
