I hope you enjoy these brown feathered birds from my archives. The Brown Pelicans pictured above were on the pier in Cedar Key, Florida.
I spotted the next four – a Hawk, Osprey, Juvenile Wood Stork, and House Sparrow – at different times near where I live in Coastal Georgia.
The birding was great as we traveled around the Texas Gulf coast a few years ago.
Thank you Lisa. for this Bird Weekly Challenge: Brown Feathered Birds

Thank you Cindy! I often see hawks and ospreys flying overhead. It was fun to see them perched where I could take a few photos.

Ingrid, I agree. Pelicans are always fun to see. These were hanging around the pier waiting for a handout from the fishermen.

Curt, thank you. Wood Storks are pretty common here. That juvenile looked like he was posing for me.

He certainly did! Thats the way I like my birds to behave when I am trying to take their photos. 🙂

I like your brown birds especially the pelicans. When we go south, I always enjoy watching them try to catch fish and land with a plop. Handsome, yes, graceful, not so much. 🙂

Judy, I love to watch the Pelicans make a huge splash as they dive for a fish.

These are fantastic Beth! You know the Brown Pelicans are my fav! The juvvie Woodstork has a face only a mother could love! Your mallard is not a mallard. That, my friend is a male Green-winged Teal and what an AWESOME capture! Congrats on that one! Envious! 🙂

I fell in love with the grackles in Texas. Their clacks and whistles entertained me while washing the dishes.
