“A wonderful bird is the pelican; his bill can hold more than his belly can,” goes the limerick by Dixon Lanier Merritt. And it’s true: A pelican’s pouch can hold up to three times more than its stomach.

Driven almost to extinction twice—first by hunting and later by pesticides including DDT—the Brown Pelican is today a shining example of the success of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the work of the Environmental Protection Agency.

But these cornerstones of conservation are now themselves at risk. https://abcbirds.org/bird/brown-pelican/

These little hooded plovers flew out into new homes and they were so much fun to make… my hands will be busy making more of them. I love these birds and they nest here in Aldinga beach amongst other places. . . . #aldingabeach #southaustralianbeaches #hoodedplover #birdslifeoz #coastalbirds #ceramicbirds #ceramicsculpture #beachlifevibes #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #adelaidemade #australianbirds #ceramicart #ceramicstudio #fleurieupeninsula #madeinsouthaustralia #birds_adored #contemporaryceramic (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClfylPPJmzL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
