Yum, yum — fresh fish.
Today we’re talking birds — one particular species.
After having a rather rough time of it fifty or sixty years ago, the species now appears along waterways and in bays and inlets throughout most of North America.
Need to keep social distance? With a wingspan of up to 10 feet — this bird’s got you covered.
Born and raised in colonies — an island is good to escape foxes and coyotes — you find them either as singles or groups as adults. They will cooperate when feeding — fish while swimming (a sport I’d never participate in).
Enough with the beak jokes!
The proper name is throat sac. It serves me well when the small fish, frogs, and other tasty morsels are plentiful.
Name? My name is GLIDER– the best of the American White Pelicans in this zoo.
