Pictured is a brown pelican flying over the wetlands beside the Marsh Trail in the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Blurred vegetation and water is in the background. The binomial name is Pelecanus occidentalis. The brown pelican mainly feeds on fish, but occasionally eats amphibians, crustaceans, and the eggs and nestlings of birds.
