EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph by Ken Archer, a Brown Pelican named Pelecanus occidentalis, engages in a meticulous preening session atop a rocky cliff overlooking the vast and tranquil ocean. The pelican's vibrant brown plumage glistens in the sunlight, a testament to its watery habitat and the essential role it plays in maintaining its health and vitality. The pelican's beak is tucked neatly under its wing, while one webbed foot balances precariously on a jagged edge of the cliff. The other foot is extended, revealing the intricate pattern of its webbing, which serves as a reminder of the bird's remarkable ability to swim and dive effortlessly in the water. The ocean's gentle tide ebbs and flows beneath the pelican, creating a rhythmic backdrop to the scene. The safety and serenity of the location offer the pelican a respite from the demands of the wild, allowing it to focus on the essential task of maintaining its feathers. The Brown Pelican is a fascinating bird, known for its distinctive pouch under its beak, which it uses to scoop up fish from the water. This species is native to the coastal regions of the Americas, from Alaska to Chile, and is an important indicator of the health of marine ecosystems. This photograph by Ken Archer and Danita Delimont captures the essence of the Brown Pelican's natural beauty and grace, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of these remarkable birds and the environments they inhabit.
