At first at seemed that the White Pelican had no interest in the Wood Stork as he casually paddled along.

But as he got closer I began to wonder.

Surely, the Wood Stork would have some kind of reaction.

I wish I could have seen this from another angle–did the Wood Stork reach into the Pelican’s beak?

Whatever happened, the White Pelican decided to move on, continuing to make a little flap about it.

The Wood Stork continued to pay no attention.
