Kwe Msit Wen (Greetings All)

Couple days ago, Nick and I ran into Mike King (?) at the beach by Hartlen 
Point.  In our discussion (while trying to find the Soras), Mike asked if we 
heard anything about the Brown Pelican that was taken to Hope for Wildlife. 
 Nick and I volunteer there.  I told him that I would find out and give everyone 
an update on "Ralph" (named after the strip bar where he was rescued from).

Speaking to Allison at Hope for Wildlife, Ralph, the Pelican is still there. 
 Hope has received the necessary export permits from the Canadian Government for 
the Pelican but is still waiting for the import permits from the US government. 
 Once she has received this, arrangement are in place to have Ralph transported 
to a rehab that specializes in pelicans.

There was a bit of a learning curve with Ralph.  Apparently, Pelicans also 
obtain their water intake from when they scoop for fish but the volunteers were 
feeding him fish but he was not drinking. They were very concerned about 
dehydration and, after a bit of research, were able to figure out a way for 
Ralph to feed and to drink.

Ralph is doing well and will be taken down south as soon as the import permit 
arrive.
