The Noble Pelican

     Pelicans are a most interesting bird.  The are quite common around the coastal areas of Florida and most of the Caribbean.  They spend the sinter and spring months here in the keys and migrate elsewhere for the summer and fall.  These are very large birds with huge wing spans, their flying and diving skills are very impressive.  It is a shame that many of them have just become scavengers hanging out at the fish cutting tables of the marinas instead of hunting their food as nature intended.
