Pelicans

I've added a new page to the wiki for you so I'm looking forward to reading your descriptions!

I was in the nearby area (everything is relative, isn't it!) in South Carolina, but the pelicans seem to be doing fine there. It seems that activists have quite a bit of weight and are keeping the waterways protected, and thereby the pelicans, but the industrialists are trying to get more land, more influence, etc.
Now why doesn't The Pelican Brief seem to be such an unrealistic fictional piece???

By the way, did you know that Pelicans regularly suffer from concuscions and often have brain damage? This is because they plunge into the water to grab the fish at such high speeds that each it is a bit like running into a wall, or getting punched in a boxing fight, or being a pro at getting those headballs into the goal.
