Congratulations to the Brown Pelican

The brown pelican is being taken off the endangered species list about 40 years after it was one of the first species listed. DDT made their egg shells so fragile they all broke. There are now about 650,000 in the world. I love pelicans for their prehistoric look and their beautiful dives and their great flying formations.  It is nice to have a success story like this for the environmental movement.
