  5. I wonder if the long beak ever gets in the bird’s way?

    1. Not sure Marie, probably good to keep all the fish.

  6. I've seen them here perched atop a pole or post. Spying for a nice easy to catch fish?

    1. In Canning Highway near the Swan river I quite often see them perched on the street lamps, probably trying to see the fish :)

  7. They are beautiful - from a distance. Quite big when they come after you. And quick, too...

  8. A wonderful bird is the pelican,
    His bill will hold more than his belican.
    He can take in his beak
    Food enough for a week,
    But I'm damned if I see how the helican.

  11. adoro os pelicanos, acho que são majestosos e um dia em Santa Bárbara em 1996, almocei junto ao Pacífico, com um trio mesmo ao meu lado, que admiravam o horizonte.
    Belas fotos:-)
    Bom domingo!
    Bom domingo!
