Brown Pelicans Invade The Salt Marsh

We had a group of brown pelicans really working hard out at the salt marsh during mid tide this afternoon.

They would go way far out into the middle of the marsh, then come back in toward us, and they kept this up for quite a while.

At one point one of them caught a huge fish that seemed not only too large for them to eat, but too much for a bald eagle to handle as well.

More on that tomorrow. 🙂
