Seemingly flying
In slow motion
Diving down
To catch a bite
Wings spread wide
Above the ocean
Spearing head-long
Folded in tight
Oh, tiny fish
Caught unawares
Into the belly of the Pelican
Amid gawking stares
Of other little fish
Who count the days
Until their turn comes
Among the waves

And then there’s that! Ha… I born and raised on Mobile Bay, and the Brown Pelican was on the endangered list. When they dredged the ship channel they had to build an island from the spoils. It was safe from everything out there in the middle of the bay, and the pelicans thrived so well they were eventually pulled off the list. Crazy, huh?

Indeed! A very cool story, though.
