All Dressed Up & Ready to Breed
Today’s post features a beautifully dressed up adult Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) that was posing on a rock at the Los Islotes bird rookery, in Baja, Mexico. The bright colors of the breeding plumage sure is a sight to behold! After a few minutes, he took flight and flew past our ponga:
