Not always - Hurricane Maria killed off more than half the population of the already critically endangered Puerto Rican parrot - but most of the time.

I hoped it would head that way before the storm got much worse.īirds generally know how to survive in rough weather. The bird seemed so alone out there in all that chaos, but the shore, a place of greater safety, was just a short, downwind ride away. I think it was feeding, but pelicans find their prey by sight, usually from a much greater height, and the water was all whitecaps and churn, so I’m not sure what kind of success it was having, and whether the limited results were worth the heightened risk. And then it would plop down into the water quickly and without warning and from not much of a height. The bird mostly sat there, rocking on the waves, but then would get up occasionally, and fly slowly forward on an upwind reach. It was out in the zone between the pier and West Martello, which was something of a no-man’s land during the storm. But the brown pelican caught my eye as I was leaving. I’d seen a couple laughing gulls and royal terns sliding by overhead, local birds that never seem bothered by much of anything, the kind I’ve seen flying in the worst of storms. Another is of DJ and his friend Emma in matching vrksasana/tree poses as the water curls up behind them. One was of my friend DJ in a blue tutu ensemble, a small figure about to be subsumed by a massive wall of froth. I didn’t end up getting any great shots, but I got a couple I liked. Between the waves hitting all you could hear was laughter.

Everyone out there was getting knocked around – even people just trying to take pictures a few feet back from the full brunt of it – and we were all pretty much blinded by the wind and the saltwater. The waves were slamming straight into the end of the pier, as they usually do in heavy weather, and creating volcanic explosions of white foam that people of an adventurous nature like to get blasted by.
