A flock of pelicans flew across the Morse bridge on Tuesday, and they did look amazingly like the wood storks we have -- except for the tucked necks. (That's how it dawned on me that they were pelicans) We are blessed with an abundance of wonderful wildlife viewing opportunities here!

This was funny: We went on Captain Mike's Lazy River boat tour, and people on board were running from one side of the boat to the other to take photographs of herons, anhingas, storks, butterbottoms, etc... The river tour was very nice, and most of the folks were thrilled to see the birds and the alligator that we see almost daily in our hometown.
