Watching this American White Pelican work at swallowing a fish was fascinating. In late November, I posted (click here) an image of this Pelican as it had finally gotten the fish under control in its pouch. In this image, taken a few frames before the fish was under control, the Pelican was struggling to keep the squirming fish inside its pouch. You’d think having that giant stretchy pouch would make it easy. After watching this bird struggle, it’s amazing they manage to eat at all.
