Behind the White Pelicans. As many as 10% of the Brown Pelicans in Texas in early spring and summer have red pouches. This is a variation of the Eastern birds and does not mean they are necessarily California birds, despite field guide suggestions to that effect. Several red-pouched adult birds have been proven to have hatched from nests in the Gulf through banding studies.

OK, I will test your patience with some scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for many weeks at least with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuck….I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have.
