Pelicans are around here in the Gulf Coast of Mississippi big time (post ban). But I don't understand why the rest of the coastal birds survived. This is something I gotta look into, I'm not a enviro whacko, but this brings alot of new questions to my mind.
"I bought into it too.And pelicans supposedly are more numerous post-ban. Even my parents & other old-timers have said so & none of them are environmentalist wackos. Would you let me know if you find out anything, would you?I'd like to know the story on this as well."
The environmental wackos assured us that the Alaskan pipeline was the death knell of the caribou population. That population has exploded and they like hanging out next to the pipeline since it provides a source of warmth. That probably makes them more amorous, hence more caribou.
