Fuzzy and the Brown Pelicans


Fuzzy is amazed by all the different kind of birds he sees in a day. One of them is the Brown Pelican. Here is a picture of them.




They eat fish and it’s really exciting to watch them. Brown Pelicans have very good eyesight. They fly high in the sky and as they look down they can see a school of small fish or even a single fish. Diving straight down into the water, they may go completely under the water or only partly—depending on the height of the dive—and come up with a mouthful of fish!
The Brown Pelican is the only pelican that sky-dives for food.


Nana took a picture of one diving into the water and then the splash of entry!





















Hayden, do you remember last year when you visited Nana and Papa in Florida and went on the boat and saw the birds go “splash” into the water? Those were Brown Pelicans.

Fuzzy thinks this is so interesting and hopes you do too.
