Beautifully done Rob. Looks like it's got some sort of growth on it's beak. It might be the result of an injury, possibly from a fishing hook. It appears healthy otherwise.

Thanks Morris, During breeding season, they have pale yellow crests and a flat rounded horn-like growth on the ridge of their bill. This growth is only found during breeding season and is shed after their eggs have been laid..

Thank you Rob,

In January I saw a few brown pelicans with the growth yet most did not have it. Where a few starting early?

I believe they all do not get the growth, only the mature breeding do. Not sure of the time frame however.
