Brown Pelicans (Pelecanidae: Pelecanus occidentalis) were decimated by pesticide use in the twentieth century but conservation efforts have helped them recover. Today they're a common sight along seashores, like this group along the Gulf of Mexico. Padre Island National Seashore, Texas, 16 Jun 2017.

Brown Pelicans (Pelecanidae: Pelecanus occidentalis) usually catch fish by diving at them from the air. Sometimes if there are a lot of fish near the surface or if the water is too shallow, they will instead just float around and grab them. Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, 10 Apr 2012.

More I think cooler it gets. Calling my shot - only present in Sulidae and Pelecanidae due to independent origins of BPM which endows plasticity. Finding source of pigmentation would also be linked to BPM mechanisms.

Still not expected in Charadriiformes w/ BPM because not even anywhere related.

More work linking irregular iris pigmentation in gannets to prior HPAI infections: likelihood of NP antibody increased with iris pigment irregularity. Moderate correlations for H5 antibodies.

🇧🇷Pelicano
🌎Pelecanus occidentalis
Conservação:Pouco Preocupante

O pelicano (Pelecanus occidentalis) é uma ave Pelecaniforme da família Pelecanidae.

📷 Luiz Bravo
Um grande pássaro aquático, com plumagem predominantemente marrom e cinza, está empoleirado sobre uma rocha. A cabeça apresenta uma área branca no topo, contrastando com o bico longo e acinzentado. O pescoço, em tons de marrom claro, se curva elegantemente. As patas escuras sustentam o corpo robusto, enquanto o oceano azul-esverdeado forma o pano de fundo.

Wing out, fish in—the lead pelican nails the catch while the other looks on, waiting for its chance.

“Hunger turns chaos into choreography.”
