There's a seafood restaurant in Mayport/Jacksonville...it's pretty much
a large shack hanging out over the water...called Singleton's Seafood
Shack. Great food. Anyway, it is a gathering place for literally dozens
and dozen of pelicans, because the chefs take the portions of fresh fish
they aren't cooking, and toss it out to the pelicans, who perform all
sorts of tricks to get their dinners. Not a scrap goes to waste. Very
healthy pelicans. I think they have to reserve a perch spot months in
advance.
