A Brown Pelican flying between piers and docks. Because this is home to a small fleet of shrimpers you can find them most any day.

They are not as big and bulky as the White Pelican and maybe a bit more agile.

Brown Pelicans don’t like fresh water either. Their White relatives don’t seem to care either way.

But when it comes to flying low, catching thermals for speed…nothing is better than the Brown Pelican.
