Awesome shots!!!
Why are some of them dark? Is it a male/female thing? An age thing?

Great shot. You have the American white pelican and the brown pelican both of which are distributed in Texas. This is according to my Sibley Birds book that is my bible for the fab selection of birds in the USA.

Have a new batch of white pelicans wintering by my house in Florida too. The browns are our year around homies. The visiting whites feed in teams by dipping there beaks in tandem while the browns dive from above for their meals. Fun to watch em.

How cool! So they are just different subspecies or something.

Although I have been a “birder” for a long time I am not very good at the technical side but I think yes, they are the same species Pelicana but obviously different sub-species. Sure someone on the Forum will know more.
