A wondrous bird the pelican

His beak holds more than his bellycan

He can hold in his beak enough food for a week

But I sure don't know how in the hellhecan

I loves me some brown pelicans in Culebra, and I loves me some white pelicans in Missouri.  Also, some bald eagles and trumpeter swans, all snapped on our outing to the Riverlands sanctuary in West Alton, MO, yesterday.

Wonderful shots. I love the eagle... Late afternoon I was watering the garden when a hummer came by...those suckers are fast! But I like it :cool:

I love Puerto Rican hummers.  They dwarf our ruby throats, and are less shy of human proximity.  Here's one more pelican shot...with a tern buddy.
