Every now and then we find ourselves wishing we had better access to online information. Watching pelicans diving for fish for example, I wondered out loud: what is the life span of a pelican? The reason I was wondering that is because I stood in same spot twenty-five years ago, watching pelicans dive and it made me wonder how many generations of pelicans have come and gone in that time. Then Kay had a great idea: we should ask our loyal followers to post the answers to interesting questions as blog comments. We'll try that and see what kind of response is generated. For now, we're in port and can answer that question: Pelicans are reported to live 15 to 25 years in the wild, which means we could be seeing some of the same pelicans I saw 25 years ago.
