Project Description

Photos of Brown Pelicans

Photos of Brown Pelicans (both adult and juvenile),  photographed primarily in California

ETHICAL BIRD and WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY: As a rule, my images are shot from a respectful distance with a telephoto lens. My aim is to minimize disturbance as much as possible, and put the well-being of the animal above the acquisition of any photo. You can read my full field ethics statement here.
