Bob thinks this is one of the the best photos I’ve ever taken of the California Brown Pelican. I snapped this last January 23 on a clear, nice day at Point Vicente.
These beautiful birds were on the endangered species list, but their numbers are now plentiful along the coastline ranging from Cabo San Lucas to Eureka and beyond. This handsome specimen flew so low and close to my camera last January that you could practically see the whites of its eyes. Click on the image below to see the glorious extra-large close-up.
