Pelicans are fascinating birds to watch when they are feeding. Especially the Brown Pelican, which is unique from all the other, larger Pelican species.

While the other seven Pelican species usually feed by pushing schools of fish into shallows waters and scooping them up, the Brown Pelican dives for fish, similar to other birds in the Galapagos, such as the Blue-Footed Booby.

Watching them hunt for their meals a real treat and I was lucky enough to snap these photos of a Brown Pelican that was diving for fish underwater off the coast of Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos.
