"Here goes another neighborhood"... Or so one might be tempted to think. Cheryl Weber on
a fishing pier in SW Florida doing what she likes to do best. She'd try that with a Racoon
or Gator. Down the road, the way things are going, most of it may turn into a petting zoo.
Just think of your dog, descendent from wolves.

Center... Free lunch coming... Why fish when others can do it for you..? This kind of scene
is common wherever fishing activities and Brown Pelicans share an environment...
Below image, taken during a slight drizzle... Once of adult size, wading birds have few
predators. Except for - a stealth Alligator lurking only a few yards away in the background.
Were the waders unaware or unconcerned..?
