March 21: Pelicans
Kristen Lindquist
Birding today at Ding Darling NWR on Sanibel Island. As the tide ebbed in the mangrove-edged inlet, white pelicans and other birds flew onto the exposed flats. The pelicans are very huge and very white, especially when seen next to other birds.
Opening in the sun,
pelican's translucent bill.
Thin-skinned, all of us.
