I think they are much more attractive with their brightly colored orange beaks and feet. They seem to get along just fine with the brown guys.

Daily Painting, Birds, "Pelican Patrol" 6x18"
You may notice that these are not your everyday type of pelicans. Most pelicans are brown and gray and kind of dull, unless they are a breeding male, their heads turn yellow during breeding season.
These beautiful birds, are larger, and a little on the rare side. I found these in Sebastian, Florida where a large colony lives.

Daily Painting, Original Oil, Birds, "The Loner"
A wonderful bird is the pelican.........
His bill will hold more than his belly can.
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week.........
But I'm damned if I see how the hell he can!

That is a little poem from my childhood days. I lived in Ohio, my grandparents in Florida. My grandmother had a postcard of a pelican that included that poem. Florida seemed like a magical place to me then, and the poem stayed with me through the years.
Join me tomorrow for more of Pelican Week!

My dear mother closed her eyes for the last time on April 27th. This is the last post that I had scheduled ahead. I find I need a little more time, so I will not be posting for another week or two. I know you will understand.

Daily Painting, Oil, "The Gull", 6x8" SOLD
If you live close to the sea, these guys are a part of your everyday life. This one looks a little serious, like he has a job to do and is going to get it done.
When my grandson was four, we went to the beach for a picnic. When I casually mentioned to him that the sea gulls were after his sandwich, he gobbled it down. Unfortunately, he didn't want to go to the beach for years afterwards. The mere mention of the "beach" conjured up thoughts of a bird attack ala Alfred Hitchcock! Bad Grandma!!
