The shot pelican, Gabriel, looking proud and beautiful if a little confused at her inability to lift her wing due to the embedded pellet.
“Gabriel hears and looks out to the sea. When I am not looking, she heads across my lawn with one wing dragging and one wing flapping. My heart breaks, but there is no reason to prolong a futile situation.” Toni Lance, St Croix Avian Sanctuary
