Pelican Party

I have neglected to tell you about Petey. Petey is a pelican that visited the river behind our home last year. This year he brought his wife, Priscilla and their child, Pensacola (Penny for short - I bet you can guess where Petey wintered!) Since Petey is quite the popular fowl, they had a Pelican Party last week. It was a good showing with 12 pelican friends dining at the bend in the river. We, the paparazzi, tried to get a group photo, but pelicans are rather shy of the camera - they are such large birds that they are self conscious of the extra weight the camera adds. P.S. All real pelicans' names have been changed to protect the innocent.
