Excellent shots Kerfree.Looking at the download It definatly
looks like fishing line and maybe the hook is still attached.With luck the hook will rust and fall out but as Treepusher says report it to your local animal welfare people.

Hi Jim, I think you are right - i hadn't thought about there being a hook caught in him too! That thought got me calling around right away! Happily the wildlife rescue center just received a Pelican fitting his description this weekend, so he will be rehabilitated and hopefully able to return to the tree tops with his pals. Thank you for your kind words and your excellent advice!

I would call and report the location and what you saw. They are there to help and I had great luck with a baby dolphin in Texas. As someone said for piece of mind at least.

Nice set of pelican pix, especially the the last picture. Remember the limerick: ... A wonderful bird is the pelican...His mouth can hold more than his belican.....He can take in his beak, Enough food for a week....I'm darned if I know how the helican.

Jscott, I tracked down the wildlife rehabilitation center yesterday and happily they have a Pelican just brought in to them from the same beach. Hoping it is my little guy!
That is great that you were able to help the baby dolphin. Excellent!
