A fisherman was cleaning his catch down the canal from me, when I lived on Chokoloskee, before Irma, destroyed my home and the Pelicans were lined up for the scraps. This poor guy grabbed something to large to handle and flew directly at me, as he reached my seawall, he lost his prize in my backyard. Two buzzards swooped down and devoured what was left. I felt bad for the Pelican, but it was too large for him to eat anyway. Please enjoy the download

So true, Photog8, but there were about 20 pelicans fighting for scraps, and he grabbed what he could and took off. So glad you enjoyed, greatly appreciate it, thanks so much
