Coquimbo Chile is a marine bird paradise!
It is home to the impressive Peruvian Pelican.
Peruvian Pelicans are twice the size of their northern cousins and stand up to five feet tall!
They somehow manage to look individually comical,
but sober as judges in a group.
These beauties were photographed in Coquimbo Chile, and on the Palomino and Ballestas Islands off the coast of Peru.
Cheers to you from the pretty as a picture Peruvian pelis~
Gorgeous! Thank you!

Yep. Birds and boats, fisherman and creatures. It is an old relationship, There are so many more photos I have of these true fisherman, who go out in their tiny pangas, and brave the sea. They have relationships, which I have photographed, with gigantic sea lions, and all the crying birds, to whom they toss fish.

BIG birds. Oh, my. Sober as judges. Heh. I was thinking that they look very dignified like Pastors of a church.
And, those colorful boats! Wow!

I was just thinking tonight, “where in the world is Cindy”? I see Peru is the host and perhaps you’re been held hostage by Pelicans, ha! At 5′ tall, they’re nearly as tall as me. Cranky, that’s one big bird! Cheers dear x K

I can’t help wondering why they all stand around with their heads tucked, Cindy. “Sober as judges,” indeed! But at least it looks like they all went to the same grooming salon, ha!

It is rather shallow isn’t it. We do it on both ends. The naked mole rat got a lot of attention for being unattractive. I think it’s Chaucer’s fault. He started the whole looks reflect character trend 😉
