The Gracks have shown off nicely, puffing up, shooing away rivals and trying to intimidate the camera 🤓 The last one is a warrior that arrived like this a couple of weeks ago. I like to think he looks a little better by now. #birds

White pelicans at the Saint Louis Zoo. The growth on the beak, as I’ve come to learn: is called a nuptial tubercle or breeding knob. It’s a temporary, keratinized structure that appears during breeding season. It’s thought to play a role in mating displays or signaling breeding readiness. It typically appears in early spring and falls off after the breeding season ends. Both males and females can develop this. #birds #birdphotography
