Uncommon encounter (wordy)

Fantastic experience for sure. Thanks for sharing this, made my day!

Great story, great pictures to go with it. Thanks!

Excellent photos and well done you for your positive actions.

I like your persistence finding help for this Pelican and you have some memorable images to go along with the experience.

What an incredible experience, and the pictures with the kids are priceless!

Excellent story and outcome Eric! Great job on getting help. An experience to be remembered for years.

Wow Eric that is a terrific story and the images are great too. Glad to see the little fella is going to be taken care of and great job by you to see that it happened.

Great story. Love the pics with the kids.

Thanks for reading the small novel, Everyone; it was a memorable experience for sure.

@kd_reno and JM_2: I think those shots are the most priceless ones out of the encounter. The way those kids interacted with the bird and worked to help keep eyes on it without man-handling it all over the place made me proud...and things like the "wings spread" will have me laughing for years
