CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICAN.
Method of Fishing Attracts Attention at
Seaside Resorts.

The pelican familiar to the visitor ut
the seaside resorts of southern Cali
fornia is known as the California brown
pelican. His length is from four to five
feet. and his wings and tail are of silver
gray streaked with seal brown.
The breeding range of these interest
ing birds is off the coast of Mexico and
lower California. May and June are the
nesting months. Occasionally they build
their nests in low trees. but ordinarily
it is on the ground. 1t is loosely con
structed affair, built Of weed stalks and
sticks. and lined with grass.
At the seaside the pelcans are seen
laZily flying through the air. 1t is their
fashion to fly one behind the other.
Each. following the signal from the
leader. gives five or six strokes and then
all soar in unison. At feeding time their
wont is to drive the fish by a noisy beat
ing of the wings to point close i'll
shore. when the birds will dive from con
siderable heights. This performance is
quite spectacular, as with closely folded
wings the bird drops as a ball headfore
most into the water. Under the water
they evidently turn a somersault. rs the
bird invariably emerges head first.
The pouch or game bag of the pelican
will hold ten or fifteen pounds of fish,
and as the bird is provided with no
means of defense, he is the victim OF
sure-thing operators and confidence work
ers in the form of the predatory gulls.
Too lazy to fish for themselves. these
thieves will pursue and attack the peli
can. causing him to dive as matter of
self-protection. So closely are the pei
cans pursued by their more agile enc
mics that finally, half exhausted, they
give up the trophies of their chase. This
they do with a cynical smile as they see
their hard-ea gain gobbled by the
gullS.-Los Angeles Times.
