After eating fresh catch seafood while sitting by the bay, I wanted to see some pelicans. Several (I think I counted to 5) had flown by in the time we were eating. But my son and girlfriend knew just where to satisfy this desire!
A charter fishing boat had docked at a marina, and there they were waiting for dinner!
A few other birds gathered as well, while fish were weighed and cleaned...and look below the dock!
A pod of pelicans waiting for the fish trimmings! (I looked up the venery term for a group of pelicans!)
Some of these pelicans had 6 foot wingspans, though not many were interested in flying.
There were sometimes arguments over entrails! As you can see, seagulls didn't bother coming by with these delightful monsters.
A more snazzy fishing boat at the same marina.
A beautiful egret didn't mind our presence at all, I think we left before he did.
PS...here's the last half of my lunch!
Today's quote:
Although
we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing,
life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom.
