KAYAKER TRIES SAVING PELICAN CHOKING ON PLASTIC

"Recently, kayaking right outside [Princeton] harbor, I came across a dead pelican, with a big [billful] of something. With some difficulty I removed a large Tupperware container. How did this happen? I submerged the container, it floated, being HDPE, with one silvery edge right at the surface, looking much like a little fish to a hungry pelican cruising far above. Poor pelican; he gulped the container, apparently could not dislodge it, choked, starved, and died. Yes, we must advise our visitors, in boats or picnicking on the beach, to just STOP being inconsiderate!" (posted on NextDoor by Tom Clifford)
