raises his wings slightly and pro-
pels himself with speed by using
his great feet in alternate strokes.
At rest, his head is turned back
on his shoulders or laid along his
back. He can turn his head COM
pletely around with apparently no
trouble at all.
His bill serves not only as fish
ing net, but as a market basket.
One of his clever pelican tricks is
to round up his friends while they
are out on the water. Stretching
out in a row they face the shore.
Approaching a school of fish, they
slap the water with their wings driv-
ing the frantic school into shadows
where they are scooped up.
When one or two .matronly peli-
cans decide on special island for
a maternity pavilion, other pros
pective mothers hasten to join them.
The island soon becomes crowded
with waiting fathers and mothers.
In sandy cradle, two to four large

Pelicans are good for a chuckle

Pelicans are the buttons of the bird
world. From babyhood to old age
they are laugh.
His over-plump body is supported
by pair of stubby legs set far apart,
causing him to waddle. His great
dinner-plate size feet slap loudly as
he moves along, often stepping on
his own toes, which impedes speed.
In walking he stretches his peri
Scope neck to its limit to support his
diversified bill with its leathery I'M
derslung pouch. In most of the
pelicans their crowning effect is the
cluster of curly feathers worn at a
rakish, devil-may-care angle on
their crown. With each jerk of the
head, the feathers achieve a fam
tastic dance as they drape the
solemn face of the clown.
6trolling along the sandy beach,
the clown suddenly decides to 60
aloft. With great effort his wings
thrash the air until he gets enough
momentum to soar. He works hard
to acquire altitude until he reaches
the place where he circles on mo-
tionless wings. After tiring Of this,
