EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) can be seen gracefully perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the vast, turquoise waters of the coastal Southern California, USA. The pelican's vibrant, pouchless bill and sleek, dark feathers contrast beautifully against the sun-kissed cliffside and the clear blue sky above. The pelican is in the act of preening, an essential behavior for maintaining the health and cleanliness of its feathers. With its beak, it carefully combs through each feather, removing any debris or parasites. This not only keeps the pelican looking its best but also helps to ensure its insulation and waterproofing are in top condition. Brown Pelicans are a common sight along the Pacific coast of North and South America. They are well adapted to life at sea, with webbed feet and a unique method of flying by flapping their wings in a slow, powerful beat. These birds feed primarily by plunge-diving from the air into the water to catch fish, making them a fascinating and dynamic presence in coastal environments. This photograph, taken by renowned nature photographer Ken Archer, captures the essence of the Brown Pelican's beauty and grace in its natural habitat. The coastal Southern California setting adds a sense of tranquility and serenity, making this image a must-have for any nature lover's collection.
