Description
"Brown Pelicans at Pelican Point, Dauphin Point, Alabama" by Catherine Sherman.
A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) and a Double Crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) join a flock of Brown Pelicans on rocks near Pelican Point on Dauphin Island, Alabama. Oyster shells clinging to the mossy rocks are exposed at low tide. This is the first time i'd seen a heron with other birds. There must have been good fishing in this spot near the beach.
The color and pattern of the plumage of the brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) show the various stages of breeding readiness and age.
