The seagulls here are bigger?My new cat is green and has a long tail.These Pelicans swallow the racks of such big fish without choking that it is amazing.We had a cold front come thru it went down to 50 degrees.The temp is up to 70 now and the water is 73 deg.When the water hits 75 it is game on.Hope you enjoy the pictures.:)

Glad you are enjoying your vacation. Try not to feed the pelicans the big racks, they may get them down, but it can be all downhill from there. A bird rehab, (yes, birds also have drinking problems ;) ) in Key Largo has a program about the problems when they swallow those big racks. If you are gonna feed them, toss them the left over baits!! Buddies of mine got out offshore Venice, Fla on Monday and 35 miles out, it was ROUGH!! They managed about 100 snapper, mangroves, lanes, vermillions, and porgies as well as one shark, a blacktip. In 15 years of chartering Fla. my buddy said Monday was the worst, like being in a washing machine. NOAA called for 7 to 10 knot winds.... NOT!!
