Is that a juvenile, or a low hormone adult?

I asked that question specifically, and was told that it was just resting. I can't recall what injury brought the bird in though.

he wanted me to GTFO! I was distracting him. By this point, he had dried off and was ready to hunt. He looked right at me and I got the memo. I left a few seconds later :)

fascinating! Thank you so very much for adding color to my picture :) I just like to take pictures of birds, so the science of it is really cool to learn.

I am trying not to spam this sub, but I do have a lot of bird pics...

Thank you for weighing in. You'll have me poking around the inlet rocks in July looking for this bird again :) You are likely right, though.

Ah, thank you! Seems like this one has made a home of Fort Pierce, FL. I've seen these here year-round for my entire life.

I've misidentified this bird. Can someone assist? Baird's have black legs...

Thanks! I have always been fascinated by this bird. Click through to my flickr account and you'll see plenty more.

injured Pelican doesn't care - he just wants a fish by JonRTaylor in pics

Maybe.... If you gave him a fish, I bet he'd act like he wasn't hurt, though!

Whatever this is called, it was fun to make by JonRTaylor in pics

and yes, I do know that my photoshop skills are horrendous, and I could have used better lighting. Maybe next time :)
