The Mexican locals love to vacation on this stretch of beach and it was a treat to intermingle with them and watch them play on the playa. What they (the locals) didn't know was that about a hundred pelicans had figured out that this year the aquarium was bursting with life under the water. We spent days sitting under the palapas watching the families playing in the water fighting off the pelicans who were trying to catch their dinner. The pelicans were dive bombing into the water everywhere, inches away from people who were just trying to cool off. We heard a lot of screams and men trying to drive them off but the pelicans never hurt anyone and never went away. What a show.

Then he took his clean fish and put it in his ice chest or cooler or what ever he had and started swatting at birds. I was lmao watching the birds just flood his boat. -- NH_/)_www.sailirc.net I remember standing on the pier at St. Pete FL one day and there was a flock of pelicans...maybe about 30 of them, just hanfig out. Being a bird type of person, I walked over to have a chat (those who know me will tell you that I do indeed talk to birds)..thisfisherman started yelling at me that they were dangerous and that I would get hurt. pfffttt..they sidled up to me and made their squaky noises...they weren't averse to me petting them, either...I didn't have anything to feed them and probably wouildn't have because it was a fishing area and getting fisher people angry is not a good thing...when I walked away, they followed for a bit and then decided since I wasn't good for food they'd go back and harass the guy that thought they were dangerous... http://www.sailnow.photosite.com/baj..._the_bird.html and http://www.sailnow.photosite.com/baj.../busy_day.html -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
