Adult Brown Pelicans are normally gray-brown with yellow heads and and white necks, but when breeding, the back and sides of the neck turn a rich, dark reddish-brown.
The very young Brown Pelicans are mostly dark brown with a white belly and breast.
Brown Pelicans have a long beak with a hooked tip and a huge pouch.
When Brown Pelicans plunge into the water, they stun small schools of fish with the impact of their large bodies. Then they scoop them up in their expandable throat pouches and drain the water.
Brown Pelicans nest in colonies often in mangroves in islands without predators. They are safe because they are able to live together in harmony.
As God's children, it is important for us to regularly meet together as well, so we can encourage one another to stay faithful and strong for God until He returns. There is safety in numbers.
"And let us not neglect our meeting together,
as some people do,
but encourage one another,
especially now that the day of His return
is drawing near."
Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)
