I photographed this Brown Pelican on a weathered post along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, dark water behind him and side light catching the feathers. He had the kind of stare that makes you feel you interrupted an important meeting. Brown Pelicans can look prehistoric, elegant, grumpy, and majestic in the same five seconds.
I print every greeting card in my Henniker studio on heavyweight Red River Linen cardstock, so the bill, the pale blue eye, and the moody coastal light hold their texture and depth. The inside is blank for your words. Each card arrives flat and pristine with envelope and sleeve, ready to gift, mail, or frame.
About this Card
About this Card
This Brown Pelican greeting card pairs original coastal bird photography with luxury linen cardstock. A clean white border frames the photograph on the front of the card, presenting the textured feathers and the moody dark background like a small fine art portrait of a wild Outer Banks pelican.
The 5 x 7 size fits any standard frame for display as coastal wall art. It works as a coastal birthday card, a beach house gift, a thank you note, an OBX travel keepsake, or a thinking-of-you message for any pelican fan, bird lover, or coastal traveler on your list.
Every card is printed to order and made to keep:
- 5 x 7 folded card on heavyweight Red River Linen cardstock with a subtle woven finish
- Archival inks printed to last, holding rich color without fading
- Blank inside for your own personal message
- Matching envelope and protective sleeve included with every order
- Arrives flat and pristine in a rigid mailer
The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is a large coastal seabird found along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts of the Americas, recognized for its expandable throat pouch and dramatic plunge-diving from the air to catch fish in shallow ocean waters.
The bird shown here is in breeding plumage, with the bright yellow head and rich chestnut nape that appear only during courtship season. Photographed along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, this card is original coastal bird photography from Linda Nee, made and shipped from New Hampshire.
