Pelican Dreams
On our visit to one of our favorite spots we spotted this beautiful Pelican. It reminded us of the movie "Pelican Dreams," a documentary by Judy Irving. It's about a Pelican named GG who landed on the Golden Gate bridge with an injured wing and who's rescue, rehabilitation and final release is documented. This piqued our interest in taking this shot of this juvenile. The juvenile pelican is easily identified by the brown feathers on its head and wings. Adult American White Pelicans are all white with black on their wing tips.
