The pelicans were absolutely amazing this morning - lots of them and lots of activity - It was so mesmerizing to watch them take off, eye their 'prey', dive down for a morsel, stretch their full pouches, relax and start the cycle again. Just as interesting were the gulls that followed them and hung around for any leftovers - didn't see one successful scavenger though...7th St S & Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL
