Pelicans are a Common bird in Florida...in fact...

Some consider them a nuisance, they way we from Ohio consider pigeons to be.  But I find that pelicans are a very interesting bird...They seem a little bit gawky and awkward, perhaps because they are so large, but when in flight they glide easily through the breeze. Watching them "Take Flight" or land, for that matter, is an awesome sight, to me!

This photo was taken on a boat ride near Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda, FL.

 And this last pelican photo was taken on that same boat ride! This is mostly what pelican seem to like to do...sit on a post!!!
