I LOVE PELICANS
The pelicans are back on the bayou! I was walking Wolfie this morning and saw one big Louisiana brown pelican soar by me and land in the bayou. This is the first one I’ve seen and it means that fall is here. Although I was sweating when I saw the bird and the thick, humid air outside did not inform me it was fall, rather a continuation of summer. But the joy that fills my heart when I see the pelicans in the bayou knows no bounds. Maybe I should put a sign up – a hand painted one – that says I LOVE PELICANS – and they’re native!
Usually the pelicans return around November, but they’re early this year. Does that have anything to do with the drought in Mexico? Possibly.
Behold the native beauty of a Louisiana Brown Pelican:
