Ok, one more pelican post because they just look like small dinosaurs and lovely and terrifying. Another from the living on a boat year in Destin. He was standing like this on the pier right off our boat and made me nervous enough that I just stayed put on the boat til he left. Because he’s almost my size and I’m not trying to fight a mini-dinosaur.
Cheers!

A brown pelican perched on the railing at the Santa Cruz Wharf once stared me down, I think it wanted my food.

I kept my food, but up close I thought I was looking into the face of a pterodactyl.
