The Journey of the Brown Pelican
One of my favorite things to do at the beach near our home is watch the brown pelicans as they soar overhead or skim along the surface of the water, rarely flapping a wing. They are majestic in their flight, powerful in their dives, and rarely a visit goes by without witnessing several groups of these magnificent birds as they go about their lives. Not that long ago, however, their very existence was tenuous and this is perhaps why I have such an affinity for them.
