The lifecycle of the brown pelican is closely tied to its coastal environment. Breeding primarily on isolated islands, these birds are known for their dramatic plunge-diving behavior when feeding. The pelican's choice of rocky, coastal perches, as seen in the footage, plays a critical role in their daily routines of scouting for fish. After a successful dive, pelicans can be seen draining water from their bills before swallowing their catch, a unique behavior among bird species. This footage provides a glimpse into the daily life and feeding habits of one of the most iconic birds found along the Galapagos shores, emphasizing its adaptation to the marine-rich environment
