Brown Pelicans continue to be seen in large numbers. Paul Brewer recently photographed a flock flying north.
The white-headed pelicans are the adults and the brown-headed pelicans are the juveniles. I just received the first photo of a brown pelican in breeding plumage, and that male's head is yellow. Here's an example from a previous year, photographed by Craig Tooley. These males are now heading south.
Thanks to Paul and Craig for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/ and Craig's website is: http://www.ruffimage.com
We had another vigorous storm today. We sailed past 17 inches season to date, a marvelous amount of rain by the first day of November!
