While at the river this past weekend, we had a visiter. A one-footed pelican (that we called Petey) flew and sat on our pier. After viewing from afar for multiple minutes, I decided I would try to walk towards it. I mean what could go wrong? (Being attacked by an angry pelican has never been on my bucket list, but you never know…). Slowly but surely I made my way down the pier and sat down. Immediately I started snapping some photographs, unsure of how long I would have with this guy. Petey sat down for the most part (his walking on his one foot was not very graceful). After a while I left, sensing that I was bothering him. He stayed on our pier for a couple of hours. Thinking that that was my only chance I had to take pictures of him, I was thrilled when we saw him on our neighbors' pier the next day. Again, I walked down the pier and quietly began shooting the bird (ahaha photographer humor). I am pleased to say that I got multiple photographs of my new friend. I hope he does not hate me too much that he will not return again :-)
