IMAGES: Celebrating the California Brown Pelican in Photos.
Bird LA Day, scheduled for Sunday May 13, 2018, celebrates the birds you'll find in Southern California. We're featuring one of our favorites, the iconic California brown pelican. Once listed as federally endangered, its comeback is a conservation success story.
Most of the time, you'll see these highly recognizable birds over shallow waters and in sheltered bays along the coast. Groups often can be seen flying low over the water -- their throat pouches can store two gallons of water -- when they're feeding, diving head-first to catch their prey.
