Observation details

Standing in the turfgrass. This bird seems slightly out of place, but I suppose it was attracted to the large amount of wood stork activity. Clearly not a Brown Pelican. No obvious physical ailment. It preened most of the time I observed it. 2 people walked past it, chasing all the herons away, but the pelican didn't move one step. Photographed.
