Pelican on Pine


Pelicans have been around for 40 million years and we have several that live in the Pine tree in my front yard. This photo was taken for effect thus it does not show off the beauty of the brown pelican. These are the smallest of the eight pelican species in the world but they are still quite large standing up to four feet tall and weighing in at six to eight pounds with a six-foot wingspan.

I often wonder how they sit on a little branch.
