Description
Photograph of two pelicans grooming each other in a pond at Westlake Park (later MacArthur Park), ca.1905. The two pelicans are pictured standing on a flat stone near the edge of the pond. The leftmost bird is largest and appears to have more fully developed plumage, while the other is smaller and mottled. Lily-pads can be seen floating in the surrounding water, while a guard-rail enclosed with chickenwire fence is pictured at left, partially obscured by the foliage of a large water plant.
