Sightseeing Trips leaving from Port Sanibel Marina
Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 11:43AM If you're on the water this time of year with Rush Charters you will see one of the largest birds in the North America, the white pelican. Like our seasonal snow birds in Southwest Florida they look to escape the frigid temps of Alberta & Montana flying towards bright sunshining days! With wingspans up to 10ft and a body weight up to 30lbs, you surely can't miss them.
Did you know that white pelicans and brown pelicans have two totally different styles of fishing? Brown pelicans will dive-bomb their prey and white pelicans dunk their head underwater and swim after fish with an open bill that can hold up to 3 gallons of fish and of water.
They will soon leave to return to their mating areas up North, if you'd like to see some before they leave book a Sightseeing trip with Rushcharters
