Growin' up
Like the transition of the Summer to Fall colors in the background......this Louisiana Brown Pelican is transitioning from juvenile stage to adult.
This time of year brings the migration of fish species to the cooler waters, and also the time when the Browns return to the marshes. There is plentiful food supply and that's when I head out to find 'em.
It's great to find one with the changing plumage on the head/neck area like this one. They stand out uniquely.....and almost look like they're very "old".
Such fun to observe and photograph.
Some allow fairly close encounters......others not.
Thanks for taking a look.
Have a restful Saturday and a Blessed Sunday.
