    As I showed you with my flip-phone, they're in no danger of my taking their picture! Thanks for the heads-up, though. I would have been alarmed if I had seen someone going out to the cleaning station with a military-styled weapon! Now I know it'll just be "Thump-A-Pelican Day".

    looks like they are plunking the pelicans with pelican colored paintballs.

    btw, respect the alliteration there.

    I wonder if they read the bird hazing manual?

    Carl,
    This practice has been witnessed by several of the pier regulars whom I know and trust that dont like the pests either. But thought the practice was cruel.
