Description
Brown Pelican Preening by HH Photography of Florida.
A beautiful Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) preening it's feathers in the late afternoon sun. Preening is a large part of most bird's daily activities and helps ensure their plumage is healthy and rid of parasites and dirt, it waterproofs the feathers with oil obtained from the uropygial gland located at the base of the tail and preening becomes part of the bonding and courtship ritual during the course of attracting a mate. Photographed on the west coast of Florida.
