Waiting for free fish Taken in Panacea, Florida on Christmas day 2018. I found a man fishing that had made friends with this pelican and would give him some fish. The pelican would even let the man pet him. Brown pelican,Geotagged,Pelecanus occidentalis,United States,Winter Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

The brown pelican is a bird of the pelican family, Pelecanidae, one of three species found in the Americas and one of two that feed by diving into water. It is found on the Atlantic Coast from New Jersey to the mouth of the Amazon River, and along the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to northern Chile, including the Galapagos Islands.
