PELICANS  II--

On a recent return visit to the Fort Pierce jetty with friends Dick and Elaine Cleckner we encountered a couple of fellows cleaning their catch with predictable and chaotic interest by the same pelicans featured in a recent blog post.

These opportunistic critters scrambled and squawked their way in an effort to catch every little morsel of fish remains tossed their way--while this many again of their bemused companions watched the gyrations from the nearby, rip-rapped shoreline.

That's yours truly on the left with lady friend Sue Brooks, Dick and Elaine.  Our friends are full time Florida residents.  The Fort Pierce inlet is visible, then the jetty topped by the Atlantic Ocean just above Elaine's left shoulder
