Just rescued a weak and waterlogged first-year Brown Pelican down at Higgs Beach. The patient has been dried off, treated for parasites, and administered fluids to begin treatment in our clinic. www.keywestwildlifecenter.org

⚠️Mystery Bird ID Reveal⚠️

The correct answer is a Northern Gannet! They are large seabirds with a heavy and pointed bill. Adults are white with black wingtips and a yellow head. Juveniles like the one pictured, are brown with white spotting. They catch fish by diving headfirst into the water and can even dive up to 72 below the water’s surface using their wings and feet.

Check back next week for a chance to guess next week’s mystery bird!
