carylwithay Posted August 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) A wonderous bird is the Pelican His pouch can hold more than his belly can! Taken in Monterey, Ca. We did not stay to see how long it took him to finish his meal. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschlapfer Posted September 1, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2008 Caryl: I live near Monterey and I spend a lot of time there and along our coast. (These photos of yours were shot at the Fisherman's wharf). I just wanted to comment that as much as shoot in the area and as often as I shoot the Brown pelicans, I've yet to photograph one of them with a mouthful like this. Pretty cool!

hsw Posted September 1, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2008 Great catch for both of you! Looks like a SCUBA boot I lost a few years ago though Cheers, Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted September 1, 2008 Thank you Stu, Mike and Henry. At first I thought it was a deformed bird until I realized what I was seeing. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 1, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 1, 2008 For years I believed that these sage words were penned by my favourite American poet, Ogden Nash; only with the advent of the inter-webthingy did I find out that Merritt writ it.
