King Of The Pier: Oceanside Photo Of The Day

OCEANSIDE, CA — Patch reader Penny Brown captured this photo.

"A California brown pelican perches comfortably on the Oceanside pier's weathered railing contemplating its next ocean fresh meal."

A great chance for a close-up for local photographer and Patch reader, Penny Brown. "What a thrill it was to stand so close to this very large migratory bird". "I didn't sense any unease from him." "I think he let me keep trying for the most flattering angle so I could share this handsome guy with all The Patch readers."

Thanks for sharing!
