I was down at the beach last weekend and watched a fisherman cleaning off his catch of the day.

This pelican waited patiently for the scraps and any leftover bait.

Well, all I can say is that patience paid off and the pelican finally got some treats and a big fish too.

But then as I was standing there shooting pictures, the pelican jumped down and grabbed the fish and gulped it down.

 

 

 

Fisherman & Pelican Tale

This was about a 1 minute ordeal. Take a look at his neck as he is swallowing this fish. I wish I had had a video camera as the sounds were amazing. I do not usually get the chance to get so close to pelicans but hunger overtook fear so he waited patiently for his rewards. And this was a very exciting moment for me too.

Hi Shelly,

Yes they do make amazing sounds and the neck sounds were so spectatular (not gross) and I was so excited to be so close to the pelican. *Yes my assistants are so sweet but don't do much work.

Neat pictures and good story telling. I like watching the various birds dive into or scoop along the water.

Hi Kristin, Better to be the Pelican than the fish.

Hi Than,

The water birds are one of my favorites and I love to go to the beach any chance I can and watch them interact with people and nature. They are so funny and steal food from each other.

Hi Bud and Beth,

Yes most of the time they are skiddish from people but not here; hunger is a stronger drive than fear.

Hi Dan,

Yes the pelican is higher up on the food chain than the fish. The pelicans are so comical and hungry.

Hi Cheryl,

We have a lot of pelicans around here and down in Mexico and through the Gulf but I had never been quite so close and heard and saw it eating a fish. Usually they fly off with it or are down in the water so it was so amazing.

Kristin, That is a nice post! I have seen pelicans when we have visited the coast, I have never watched them eat.  Have a great Friday!

Hi Tony & Darcy,

Thanks for stopping by and if you ever happen to be close to a pelican, wait for them to eat something and watch it go down their throat. Just amazing.

Hi Joshua,

I love birds, yes all birds and I was so excited to get so close to this pelican and see him eating the fish. All of them have such cute personalities and are trying to steal each others food. They are so sneaky.
