Pelicans

[jim from new orleans]

I've been on the North Coast from around Luperon east to the vicinity of Rio San Juan and it occured to me that I hadn't seen any pelicans!(my fav bird). Could someone clue me in as to what part of the D.R. they can be found.How about Las Terrenas?

Pelicans follow the fish and or the boats that are looking for and those who have captured fish.

In the Florida Keys we bring serious fireworks to disuade the pelicans to knot eat our bait wich is thin strips of squid and we throw the following at them, but to no avail.

M-98 CRACKERS Fireworks

The goofey birds still jump at the bait and if you have ever done some serious fishing you will never forget the experience of landing a Pelican on light tackle...wow what an ariel flight...there comes a point where you have to cut the line but those dopey birds just do not respond to instrucutions in Spanish!

there is definately one in luperon - I dont know his name though

a wonderful bird is the pelican.. his beak can hold more than his belly can.. and i don't know how in the hell he can. we saw them in los hiatus on samana peninsula but there are many more here in north carolina.

This is the Malecon in Santo Domingo. but usually see 2 o3 together, not bunches like in St Pete fl. and never seen any just sitting.
