Oh, he’s fabulous! Ours seem to like roosting on top of light poles, preferably on the light fitting itself – a good view, I suppose, but on nights like this I’m sure they’d be thankful for the warmth … after dark it feels very cold, I have to admit 🙂
I remember seeing them on light fittings … the right shape and size I suspect … and warm! Sorry you are feeling the cold, your first winter back here in OZ, the days are hot down here but short, with cool mornings and evenings … we have not swum since last week …
Isn’t he just wonderful – makes me want to hug him! Makes me think of some old gentleman who has eaten far too much dinner and drunk far too much port, and can barely move!
Akin to Pavlov’s Dog, whenever I see one, my brain silently recites:
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week,
But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
🙂
Wow! Nice shot! That is the beak of a piscivore! … and it looks as if it is very good at catching fish. Pteranodons and some pterodactyls had similar beaks eons ago! 🙂
I just love pelicans. We had dinner tonight at a marina and were fully entertained watching pelicans dive for fish. I love the choice for “wordless.” Wonder what he’s thinking?

Your pic made me laugh. He looks so blissfully happy, and very well fed. 🙂
he does look contented AD, amongst the fishing boats 🙂
I also have a Peli for Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
we could play Snap!

just so! I wonder what the fishermen fed him when they came in?
A perfectly positioned pelican. Do humans ever looks so comfortable when seated?
and perfect p’s dear Gallivanta …. no, especially not on a pole!

how could I have forgotten that EllaDee? Such a comical bird, yet so grand, you can’t help but admire them 😀
That is a fabulous photo, Christine! He does look very contented.
Between you and me and the fencepost…
Oh! So beautiful. He doesn’t need words. 🙂

How incredible cute, I met one once and it wasn’t too keen on me!
gorgeous capture Christine
Lovely photo – such comical creatures.
Aren’t pelicans cool? Good capture here Christine. I remember drawing a pink pelican in pastel. I don’t think I finished it though.
…..ifanythingcan. Excellent post!

lovely comment Debra … I imagine he was thinking how nice it was there in the hot sun and cool breeze 🙂
