Brown Pelican
A Brown Pelican comes in for landing near La Jolla Cove.
I noticed that a number of pelicans were flying from one rocky outcropping to another, in front of a dark background, strongly backlit by the morning sun. It almost looks unnatural, but that's the way it appeared (or very close to it!)
Photographed on Thursday of this week.
