Brown Pelican
November 2009 – Bandon, Oregon
For some reason, in 2009 thousands of Brown Pelicans congregated on the southern Oregon coast. Most likely, whatever food they were eating was plentiful in the area. Usually, these large populations are much further south into California. This solitary bird was taking a rest on Bandon beach.

I snapped this portrait as a Brown Pelican was flying by… I was somewhat surprised at how sharp I managed to get this.
