"Henri" the pelican


"Henri" is a pelican that lives on the Fairhope pier. The story is told that the pelican was rescued after a hurricane and was injured. The couple named the pelican Henry. After nursing him to health, the couple took him to a vet to see if he could be released. After a thorough examination, the vet told them that SHE could be released just fine. Almost any evening you can find Henrietta hanging about, begging for fish and posing for photos. This magnificent bird has been photographed thousands of times, I'm certain!
