“This is just fantastic,” beamed Jim Grant as he clicked another photo. “They're just so fantastic. They have so many features that they were created with that just are mind-boggling,”
Grant finds each bird fascinating. He’ll stand along the shore in La Jolla and Ocean Beach to take hundreds of pictures every day. Grant said he’s never taken a picture like the ones he took Sunday at the La Jolla Children’s Pool.“Just thousands of pelicans all over,” a smiling Grant said. “You couldn't even see the sand there were so many birds on that sand.”Tammy Russell, a Ph.D. candidate with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said the pelicans likely came to the area to roost.
