Adult Brown Pelican scratching that itch




Young Brown Pelican




Huge flock of American White Pelicans arriving to spend the winter with us




Flying over Miller on their way to the west side of Tarpon Key where they roost each night

Adult Great Blue Heron







Already on their nests for this year as they’re the earliest of our breeding herons and egrets




Brown Pelican doing its pouch-stretching exercises




These stretches help keep that all-important pouch flexible and pliable

Good night!
