. In this snapshot, we witness a comical encounter between two unlikely partners in crime - the mischievous Brown Pelican and the cunning Laughing Gull. As they float gracefully on the crystal-clear waters of Los Roques, Venezuela, their intentions become clear – scavenging for a quick snack! With its distinctive brown plumage and impressive wingspan, our star of the show, the Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), takes center stage.
