It's sad when their environment is disrupted. I'm sure they will adapt. Great shot Chris. #9426713

SUCH a lovely location, Chris...I can see why the birds love it!! :o) I'm sure these pelicans really cannot work out what has happened to their favourite resting places...but, as Ann said, "I'm sure they will adapt" - in time!! :o/ Sadly though, it may just be that they will move on further away from this beautiful spot!! :o( #9429107

Great shot and story. Hope they figure out what their next move is. #9447643

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. I think they will work out where to go next, I guess they are use to being moved on by those who think they know best. #9448234
