This guy was checking out the shipwright's workshop on Hyde Street pier today. As far as I can tell, it's an immature brown pelican. ( if I'm wrong, Marilyn or Susan will set me straight.) It definitely had flying down, but on the dock it did a very credible imitation of a drunken sailor. One of the older guys in the shop was taking a break, so I showed him the picture. He said that when he started in the mid-sixties he saw a few almost every day, but now they're rather unusual. Let's hope that changes, it was a pretty impressive bird.
