Video by @jim_abernethy // Turn up the sound so you can hear the 16,000 nesting birds at Huguenot Memorial Park Jacksonville 2 days ago! Your watching a Brown Pelican Mom feeding her baby! Look how far down mom's throat the baby sticks her beak in order to get the fish! Nature never ceases to amaze me! This beautiful park completely blew me away with such an abundance of nesting birds! Most of them were Royal Terns which have a striking appearance as you will see in a future post! But these baby pelicans really pulled at my heart strings with their huge beak and feet with tiny wings all of which are growing very quickly! We must protect what we love! I love all wildlife! Enjoy but please protect! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #brownpelicans #Pelicanbabies #bird #birdbrilliance #birdsofinstagram #bird_lovers_daily #instagrambirds #ilovebirds #huguenotmemorialpark #beautiful #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at Huguenot Memorial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzv_cpwna3b/?igshid=1v6dpw40j4lb5

From #livingbird by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology - “Ten Years Later”. Louisiana’s barrier islands took direct hits from multiple oil slicks during the #deepwaterhorizon disaster in 2010. Penalties paid by the companies responsible for the spill have funded habitat restoration efforts, and today #brownpelicans are successfully nesting in restored areas. (The last #pelicans I’ve seen were when we visited #chincoteagueisland 4 or 5 years ago.) #nature #birds #pelicansofinstagram #birdwatching #shorebirds https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQKtIJFf7g/?igshid=1mgnfyo46g0s4
