Pelican Post (just that -- a pelican!)

 On one of our riverfront walks, I spotted a pelican swimming in close to shore.  


It has seen something that got it excited.


A dead fish!  Oh joy.  


The pelican tried about a dozen times to get the fish down...


But no matter which angle it tried, nothing worked.


The fish was simply too big to swallow.


The poor pelican eventually gave up and swam away in search of smaller prey.


That was the most exciting thing I saw last week, and it was pretty darned swell.

So that's my update for now.  See you next time there's something cool to post about, and until then, stay safe, and stay happy!

  1. Wait. I thought the pelican's bill could hold more than its belly can and now this pelican can't even grasp a fish with its bill? How is that possible? (Also, nice photos)
