a wonderful bird...

...is the pelican...
its beak can hold more than its belly can....
(a quote from Ogden Nash, I think...)

And they are wonderful birds - they look so primitive and ungainly, but in the air their flight is so beautiful to watch.

A stormy damp purple day and a group of these amazing birds taking flight...

  1. One of my favorite birds, and I love to watch them in their single-file flight! Beautiful work.
