A bit of a stretch to meet the challenge, IMO.

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
Of your bird shots, this is my fav. I like the very relaxed pose of the bird preening, and the detail in the feathers. Everyone else has suggested a crop to remove most of the pelican in the BG. If I had to do that crop, I would crop to vertical with the head feathers right near the top, and use a blur vignette to put the pelican more out of the shot while still keeping the primary bird as much as possible.
It's a beautiful scene, just as you posted it. Somehow, to other bird seems to suggest that there is a flock nearby.
