A Strip of White Pelicans
A very serious looking flotilla of white pelicans cruising in formation at Gray Lodge Wildlife Preserve. I remember reading somewhere that pelicans were once considered candidates for delivering babies to expectant families but God passed them over because the inside of their bills smelled like fish. Can't have those new babies smelling like day old cod now can we? So instead the task was relegated to the storks and the pelicans have been forever grumpy about it.
I'm heading out for the Bay Area today. Marg is having surgery on her shoulder tomorrow. My comments may be a bit light over the next few days but I promise I'll get around to you all.
