and other shorebirds muttered and creaked and called to each

another universe. All blue sky and white birds and silence.
In the U.S. if you want to see pelicans, Florida is the spot.
We host two kinds of pelicans here: Brown Pelicans and White
Pelicans and it takes both species to compete with the Great
White Pelicans of Africa. Our White Pelicans resemble the
African bird but they fish from the surface of the water. They
float along like a serene swan and then dive straight down when
they see a fish. Our Brown Pelicans “plunge dive.” They fly
high above the water and when they spot their lunch, they fold
their wings into their sides and hit the water like a dart.
Many birds died in the Gulf disaster and I am not
completely sure why. Birds are not as important as fuel right
now and I understand that but they are part of a long list of
things that are not always important to us. Just exactly how long
does that list have to get?
