I was in Naples, Florida once. There is a long pier there and there were a lot of Pelicans on it, mainly near the end. I'd never seen a Pelican before except in cartoons. There were loads of them and they weren't afraid of people and you could get quite close to them. I think they were a protected species. They are big and they sure have big pouches under their mouths. > 23 May 2001 From: "Bob Denton" <gulfstream_at_flinet.com> > Subject: RE: [Paddlewise] my age > > Reminds me of when I was scouting Florida for a good > place to live.

The pelicans are all over Southern Florida. Sometimes they'll be up in the trees when you paddle along the Intracoastal or Lake Worth. You have to watch it...it's nothing like being hit by sparrow droppings! cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Pelicans here in the PNW too! (in summer). There is a very small island in Grays Harbor that is the summer residence for about 2500+ brown - and a few white - Pelicans. I love to watch them fly and fish. The precision with which they skim the water is so beautiful to watch. Truly amazing birds.
