DAY 313: PELICAN DIVE BOMBER


PELICAN 'BOMBS' BATHER IN FLORIDA from news.bbc.co.uk

A woman recently required 20 stitches to her face after a pelican crashed into her in              the sea off Florida - apparently diving for fish.

The bird, which died as a result of the collision, ripped a gash in Debbie Shoemaker's               face as she bathed near the city of St. Petersburg. 

The city fire chief said he had never heard of a diving pelican hitting a person.

It's worthy of note that pelicans grow to up to 13kg. & can dive from heights of                    18-21 meters.
