Marilyn: I never really thought much about Pelican's until a year or two before my dear mother in law passed away in 2004. The Brown Pelican is a year round resident here and when my mother in law was in her later years (95, 96 years of age) and had a bit of dementia, I'd take her for rides along the beach every couple of days. She so enjoyed the Pelicans. She had been in Florida since 1950 but lived in the central part of the state so I guess she had never seen a Pelican or maybe with her memory loss she didn't remember them. She would get so excited to see them flying in formation or even perched on a piling. It made me realize how much we take for granted sometimes. The joy on her face when she spotted a Pelican always made me smile!
