Did you know that Peru has its own Pelican?! The #PeruvianPelican is only found along the west coast of #SouthAmerica. It is often seen with a bright yellow, orange and blue beak, but its large brown and grey wings with are distinctive as they soar around marinas and the coast. #birdsoftheworld 🪶

For Weird Bird Wednesday, a colour photograph taken in San Antonio Harbour, Chile of the head and partial torso of a Peruvian pelican (Pelecanus thagus) with three others scavenging on the rocks. The Peruvian pelican is much larger than the regular brown pelican with a distinct yellow head and orange and turquoise-blue beak pouch.
