Look close and you can see ‘bumps’ appearing on the top bill of these Pelicans.
This is a sign of breeding season. The bumps will grow through the mating time. And then, fall off.
Both male and female grow them.

Attractive if you’re a pelican, I guess. 😏
LOL. And just what does it look like after the thing falls off ???
Wonderful! I am waiting when pelicans will arrive at our refuge. The photos are splendid!
Thanks. Some stay here year round, others migrate back towards you.
The first time I saw the full nose bumps on one, I thought it was a deformity! I had never heard of it before. Shows our ignorance but we think we know it all!
Every day it’s something new LOL
