I really like this birds of the bible sequence. I’m sorry the pelican didn’t get a bigger role though. In medieval art pelicans symbolize Christ because bird watchers of the middle ages (incorrectly) thought that they fed their chicks with blood.

Thanks for the comments and stay tuned. I am sure we will be covering more of the Pelicans. They are one of my favorites, especially the American White Pelicans that come here by the 1.000s.
