p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Pelican, Pelican, Pelican


A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I'm damned if I see how the helican!

I first heard this limerick penned by American poet and humorist Dixon Lanier Merritt while I was living in Australia in the 1980's from my spry 80 plus-year-old neighbor and friend. It made me laugh then and I always think of it when I see a Pelican. The Australian Pelican is even larger than these American White Pelicans. And yes, their bills/pouches can hold more than their stomachs, 3 gallons vs. 1 gallon.

These images were taken at Bodega Bay, CA in June.

C&C appreciated.

These are beautifully done Carolyn. Is that bubble gum on it's side in the first image? I love the view into the open mouth

Hmmm...it does look like bubble gum, but I do not know how it would have gotten there! Thanks for your comments. Carolyn

What a fine set of pelis you have here Carolyn. I love the open beak shot... it's shaped like a fly fisherman's trout net.

Great pelican shots.
The wide open mouth is something else. Glad I'm too big.
