Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge: An American Safari

摘要

Using the air stream along my moving car, the huge white pelican was gliding effortlessly and gracefully just a few feet next to my driver's seat. I was leaving Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) crossing the three-mile causeway back to the mainland. The bird just hung on to my side as if to say a long good bye: "Please come back, we sure enjoyed your visit." I said aloud, as if the bird could hear me, "Thank you, nice to have met you, hope to see you again." I even felt the urge to reach out and "shake hands."
