A fisherman casting his fish net in the fast moving water. In hopes of bringing up some delicious fish for his table.
But then came this brown pelican slowing walking closer from behind. Eagerly awaiting the raising of the net from the cool waters. Looking for an easy dinner to be served.
How could the fisherman not resist that cute face. Of course he was going to share his bounty. With each pull a single fish would be in the net. Quickly to be devoured by the pelican.

I love your stories!!! They speak to our whole community….
This was awesome to watch. He have the pelican about 5 fish from five different pulls. Each time he brought the net up, the pelican rushed in to see what he had.
All sorts of life was going on at this bridge as the storm was rolling in. I’m going to put a post up with one thing which was really cool to see if people can guess what it is. 🙂
Share and share alike! I wonder if the pelican would do the same for the fisherman? 😉
Ummm..I’d say no way Jose!

Forget cooking ! Sushi!
How wonderfully captured! A lovely moment to freeze in time.
It really was priceless and I was so happy to experience it. Thanks Fatima.
Love it!
If it was me, I think I’d go and catch fish just to feed the pelican. 🙂
lol I love them too and snap photos the whole time 🙂
Pelicans are sneaky and have you fooled that they do not move very fast, but they do! Great Capture – Have a Great Weekend:)
They sure are! I’ve had many a fish & a bag of chips stolen by those funny birds!!
This guy totally knew the routine. He was certainly quick on his feet. Thanks ladies. 🙂
Oh what a heartwarming story Emily!! What a kind fisherman. Sharon
They were laughing with delight at the pelican’s enthusiasm. I was enraptured by the scene.
A pelican pan handler. Good job.
