Pelican Fly By

Pelicans are like the C47s of the sky. They litterly lumber through the sky, sailing the air currents looking for a place to roost. It is especially impressive when they fly directly overhead, slowly gliding into view and as slowly gliding out of view. Sometimes you'll find them by the bait dock begging for food but not nearly as often as you will find gulls and egrets. For the most part, Pelicans are a stately lot, preferring to catch their own food in their own due time. The rest of the time, they spend hanging out on a rock watching the pounding surf and cruising the coastal updrafts.
