Miss Them Already: California Pelicans

August 2, 2010 Bay Area Faves

We’re packing up for a move to the Northwest. It will be a year-plus endeavor — a relocation based on pragmatic considerations.

A title inspired by a recent viewing of Jimmy Stewart and The Flight of the Phoenix . . . a photographic tribute inspired by one of my favorite birds: the Brown Pelican. California Brown Pelican Recovery The Brown Pelican is not quite a Phoenix, raising itself from metaphorical ashes. But it has mythological parallels in [...]
