Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Pip, Patches and Spot Talk About Hurricanes
Hi everyone! It’s me Pip the Pelican. Shelley said people were asking about me so thought I’d say hello and let you know I am doing well.
One of the photos is of my friend Spot the egret. I think he thought it would be a good idea to grab some sticks and make a bunker for the storm. Not sure that will work, good thing he has strong legs and feet to hold on to a branch.
This past week I have been a bit skittish and a little edgy. I felt the hurricane coming about 6 days ago. Shelley asked, “Pip, Are you going toe ok during the storm? We won’t be able to see each other.”
I told her us birds know what to do. It’s in our DNA to hunker down and wait it out. We feed like crazy before the storm, also grabbing snacks if there is a lull. Just before this post I was hanging out on a wall near the lagoon with Patches, my pelican bestie. The water is rising so we will have to move soon, but I am safe and sound.
In the past 10 days, I’ve been hanging out a lot with Patches. She has white spots on her head showing she is maturing. Sometimes she likes to act like she knows everything but I just grab her with my beak and she stops, you know a gentle bite. She likes Shelley too, which makes me grumpy. Shelley talks to me about sharing but I’m not so sure about that yet.
Anyway, I’ll be back in touch once the storm passes to let you know Patches and I are safe.
Stay tuned!
