Brown Pelican

(Pelecanus occidentalis)

Description:

Brown Pelicans nest on many of the low islands dotting the bays behind the Texas coastal barrier islands. On Wednesday (2021-03-03) I drove from Aransas NWR to Galveston. I pulled off the freeway at Tiki Island, where it was my good fortune to meet a Coast Warden for Texas Audubon, as he was loading his boat onto its trailer. He was generous enough to offer to take me with him on his rounds to monitor nesting islands in West Bay the next day.
