These guys are stalking my dog and since they are mostly young ones their nest site must be near. On a brighter note snapped some shots of these pelicans on the beach. You can click on the pictures for much larger images. 🙂

I love the pelicans too, Jill. I’ve see quite a few, but I really wanted a shot of them lined up on the posts like that for a painting and I finally got my shot. 🙂

My observation: there must be some law of nature which decrees that every post must have an occupant – pelican, gull or other seabird. If a post is vacated, then another bird must occupy within the required maximum time. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it!

Great shots, Elizabeth. How small is your doggie? (Notice I refrained from saying: “Bloody hawks”! I’m far too decent to say that.)

I’m not! 😀 He’s a mini Dachshund 5 months old. About the size of a fox squirrel. There have been several attacks lately on dogs and cats and even people at the library in Port Orange. Of course in Port Orange they are guarding a nest-thus the people attacks.

You can also get devices that emit noise at a high pitch that scare birds away. I include a link to Amazon GB that lists some of the devices you can purchase. I am sure you can get similar in the States. http://www.amazon.co.uk/electronic-bird-scarer/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aelectronic%20bird%20scarer
