SundownIsland > This photo was taken just after breeding season began.  You can see from this photo how many nesting Brown Pelicans have gathered.  This is a favorite spot for the pelicans, on the south east side of the island. Photo Credit: March 2009, Peggy Wilkinson.
SundownIsland > The adult Brown Pelicans that are not babysitting, or maybe not old enough for breeding, like to congregate on the edges of the island.  When the mood strikes them, they take off.  These were spotted on the southeast side of the island as you are looking towards Port O'Connor.

SundownIsland > I suspect these juvenile pelicans are hanging out close to the fisherman for a free snack. This is at the Northeast end of the island.  Notice how choppy the water is.  There was also a high tide so there wasn't much beach to walk on here. Photo credit: Marcy Crowe Spears
