Pelican Facts

This afternoon, our science study was about winter birds. Bronwyn liked the topic so much she asked if we could learn more about birds. I happened to have some lovely large picture cards of birds from the United States and we looked at them enjoying all their different attributes. I left her at the table to browse them on her own. As I surfed the internet, I could hear her reading facts about the various species in the background. With one ear on her and one eye on the headlines, I heard, " The brown pelican is the state bird of Louisiana.......strong swimmer......and expert diver.....can plunge from a height of......eats fish.......ha-bi-tat........ " After what seemed a long pause, Bronwyn, irritated with the incompleteness of the facts, added, " Hey, pelicans also help deliver babies too!"
