It was unseasonably warm today so I decided to drive to Lake Red Rock in search of pelicans. I was rewarded!


As I was looking over the photos I took today, I was trying to figure out what the nearly perfectly round thing was on this pelican's leg. Then, I noticed what looked like a string hanging from its head. I zoomed in and figured out that the bird has a fish hook stuck in the back of its head and probably a small sinker and line wrapped around its leg! :(


This is the last photo I took before leaving. I discovered after uploading the photos that the pelican in the middle has a fishing bobber in its beak! I only hope that the bobber was "thrown back".
