Blue Beak 1

Introducing Tim, the pelican. He will be the featured bird on this and the next four posts. I first met Tim when I discovered Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter back in maybe 2011. A former real estate agent, Mary Ellen, and her team of volunteers run the place, a wildlife rehab place that takes in mostly waterfowl. Tim is the resident pelican who, because of permanent wing damage, has no hope for release. He lives there permanently with his own private accommodations, including pool, and an endless supply of fish. He earns his keep by teaching other residents that they can actually eat food that is no longer alive.
