Today when I picked my daughter up at the school, she was so excited about the exciting event at the pool.
She told me that while they were in the swimming pool, a pelican flew from somewhere and soaked himself in the swimming pool. The pelican sank his head into the water trying to find any fish or something. Since the pelican was a big sized one, the life guard announced all the kids and other participants to come out from the pool. Then, a police man captured the pelican by its body and beak.
I don’t know what happened to the pelican after being captured. One thing for sure is that the people around this area are very nice and kind. Most likely they figured it out the best rescue method for the pelican. Today’s event definitely would stay in kids’ memory of summer vacation.
Speaking of wild animals, my neighbor area is surrounded by wilderness. Within 5 minutes from my house, I have seen some wild animals such as a deer, cottontail rabbit (cute and small one), a hare (huge one; it looks like a dog), a coyote, a javelina, and not to mention, a variety types of snakes.
If I had a swimming pool at my house, all the wild animals would jump in the pool in the night to get their body cool off.
PS: This pelican was on the local newspaper. The picture really shows that the pelican had a blast in the pool :).
