Thanks to Kay for the pointer to Dixon Merritt. I would have sworn Ogden Nash, but I would have been wrong.

That is a close encounter, Joy. I can tell you’re a serious nature lover, since you developed pelican appreciation rather than pelican phobia.

KaHolly, in a reply to a blog I wrote about Pelicans (quoting the poem that kept running through my brain too!) tells me that the poem is by Dixon Merritt. I always thought it was Ogden Nash, too, until someone told me it wasn’t. I agree that the pelican is a wonderful bird!
Your photos are great. What beautiful birds. I really like your blog and will be following it to see what you see!
