Groups of birds have interesting names. Crows are a murder. Grackles are a plague. A group of pelicans has a few names. Pod, gulp, scoop, pouch, and a squadron. Short of the peg leg and eye patch. They look like pillaging pirates to me. The thieving these birds attempt is actually rare. Brown pelicans do catch their own food and are incredible animals in their own right, but look at that big, flappy pouch. 😬Not today, pelican. Not today. | Mark Smith Photography
