Pelican's fishing.
A huge flock of white pelicans were onto a school of shrimp being drove
to the surface by speckeled trout next to where we anchored. It's
amazing to watch them work as a team. They surround the school all
swimming to the center at the same time and all scoop at the same time.
Swim out to the edge of the circle and start over. Also a massave
number of gulls were working the ship channel, we could not see them
but Hitchcock would of loved to have recorded it for his movie The
Birds. Redfish Island is right next to the Houston Ship Channel we
anchored with the island between us and the channel. You could hear the
ships coming for several miles, then hear the wake crash across the
whole length of the island... followed by the birds fishing the prop
wash then fading to total silence. It was amazing every little sound
turned up to full volume by the fog.
