This follows a wayward California brown pelican from her "arrest" on the Golden Gate Bridge into care at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, and from there explores pelicans' nesting grounds, Pacific coast migration and survival challenges.
"It's a nature film with a very personal entry point. Two, really. The fate of these birds, which, the film tells us, could live into their 40s, becomes as engrossing as many a human drama."--Washington Post
"By it's end, we know about pelicans... We, like Ms. Irving, have come to apprciate them."--New York Times
"...Irving's study of brown pelicans is affectionate, at times humorous..."--San Francisco Chronicle
