With spread wings and tail it soars in circles, hawk-like, for long periods, evidently for the pleasure it finds in this exhilarating form of exercise. Anhingas are born naked and are reared in the nest, which is a remarkably well made structure. W^hen a few days old, a buff down begins to appear, which soon covers them. Like the young of Pelicans and Cormorants, they secure their food from the parent's throat. The background represents a ' 'bonnet," or yellow pond lily lake with its surroundin...g cypresses and palmettoes, 17 miles west of St. Lucie, Florida. -a .=1 cq THE BROWN PELICAN ON PELKJAN ISLAND, FLORIDA BROWN Pelicans normally nest in bushes, and when the birds first came to Pelican Island, Florida, the island was covered with mangroves, in which the birds placed their nests. Severe frosts and over-use by the Pelicans have killed all but a few trees. When these are occupied by from two to five nests each, the remaining birds build their nests on the ground, most of them resorting to a sand- bar at the east end of the island, where they are as thickly grouped as the painting indicates.
