Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- The Elite Athlete Season Is Back
This time of year the mature pelicans return to the lagoon. They start chasing the dolphins in hopes of catching a fish escaping the dolphin. It can be a bit of a mosh pit which means it is a sport for only the elite pelican athletes.
Sometimes the young pelicans get in the mix but they usually get right out once they get dunked by a dolphin or catch another pelican beak in the face.
It’s fun to watch the relationships unfold. Some of the pelicans and dolphins know each other from previous years and enjoy just hanging out.
Depending on the mood of the dolphin they may toss the pelicans a fish. Often I see the dolphin toss a fish in a group of pelicans and watch them go crazy. Never a dull moment.
Stay tuned for more tales!
