This beautiful White Pelican got into trouble when he swallowed a fisherman's lure or bated hook with a long mono filament line and fishing weight attached I'm sure there was a hook of some kind involved. You can see the line wrapped around his beak so that he can no longer open his beak to eat. You can also see the weight hanging below his beak. The conservation officers were asking us to watch for him and call them when we sighted him. Thank goodness they were able to trap him and remove all this horrible apparatus and release him to go on his way.
I LOVE WHITE PELICANS
