AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS SHARE DOWNTOWN RESACA

(Ed.'s Note: A group of pelicans – sometimes called a pod, a pouch, a scoop, a squadron, or – if they are fishing as a group, a fleet, share the city resaca with a soft-shelled turtle near the city's historical cemetery. Scenes like this have become common in South Texas, a prime destination for birders from all over the country. "A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill will hold more than his belican" is more than poetic license. His bill can hold more than two times as much water as his stomach can.)
