And what do these two superstars have to do with the migration patterns of pelicans, you might ask. Nothing, actually. But years ago, Peter, my officemate at the Tattered Cover Bookstore, where I was working as the bookkeeper, critiqued my blog and said that I needed to fill it with the names and activities of famous people in order to get more followers. I ignored this advice and kept on with my usual unsensational style. But today's topic is about pelicans, and I was afraid that if the title of the blog post was "The Migration Patterns of the Pelican," nobody would have looked at it. And my point about pelicans is that last summer when I was here in Stuart, Florida, I saw very few pelicans around the area and therefore assumed that they all migrated north to escape the heat. However, this summer I have been seeing pelicans all over the place. I checked on the internet, and it said that pelicans have no set migration patterns. Sometimes they migrate north in the summer, and sometimes they might even migrate north in the winter. Sometimes they stay right where they are and just say the hell with it. Which actually sounds a lot like me. But most of all I just wanted to feature the photograph on the left that I took the other day of a pelican sitting on a post along the Indian River. I believe it is something both Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift would appreciate.
