Two times in the last week I've had someone say "You must really be bored." The first time it was because I was photographing a dead pelican at Its Beach. The second time it was because I said I had been reading up on wild grasses at Light house Field. Both time my response was "No, I'm just interested in stuff."

The pelican appeared to have a couple of plastic bags in its beak. Looking at the photos more closely I have to admit I don't know what I'm seeing. There's been a lot of young dead pelicans on the bay lately. They all appear to have starved to death. The thinking is that the pelicans have made their comeback, but fish stocks are low. Yesterday I tried to take a picture that would have been gorgeous, of a raft of at least fory pelicans flying through the fog, but I just couldn't get it.









So, the main thing, the part that looks all foamy, I think is its gullet thing turned inside out. But in the second picture, doesn't it look as if there's also some plastic in there?

Poor pelican.

On another front: Grendelsong did not want "Seven Little Men."

On another front yet: I have finally figured out which one Liszt is and I don't like him. I do like Chopin, though. Old dog, new trick: identify the composer and have an opinion on him.

So, does anybody know anything about the women in the Bach family? All I ever hear about is the Bach boys.
