EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the serene beauty of a pair of Brown Pelicans perched gracefully on a rock in the Baja Peninsula, overlooking the vast expanse of the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. These magnificent birds, belonging to the pelican family, Pelecanidae, are native to North America and are known for their unique feeding behavior - diving into water to catch fish. The Brown Pelican is one of only three pelican species found in the Americas and stands out with its distinctive white head adorned with a yellowish wash on its crown during breeding season. This particular image showcases these regal creatures in all their glory, highlighting their elegant profiles against a backdrop of azure waters and rugged coastal terrain. From Nova Scotia to the mouth of the Amazon River along the Atlantic Coast and from British Columbia to northern Chile along the Pacific Coast, including even as far as Galapagos Islands, these remarkable birds can be found gracing our shores. Their presence adds an air of tranquility and natural wonder wherever they choose to perch. Photographer Danita Delimont has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not only nature's artistry but also reminding us how vital it is that we protect these beautiful creatures and their habitats.
