Pelicans in Newport Beach
Pelicans in Newport Beach
I bet you thought by the title of this post, I would be writing about a neighborhood in Newport Beach. Actually, there are several neighborhoods in Newport Coast that utilize the word Pelican – Pelican Hill and Pelican Crest.
Today, I was on the Newport Beach Pier in Newport Beach. The Tsunami Advisory was issued in Newport Beach today, and we walked to the end of the pier. Sitting atop one of the structures were several Pelicans. And they were incredibly tame. In fact, it almost appeared as though they were posing for the camera.
Historically, there are a number of anglers on the pier, so I am sure that why they are so docile – hoping for some fish.
These two below look like buddies!
They were stretching and it looked as though they were yawning!
They were relaxed as they were resting.
This last one is my favorite, he is really looking down his beak at me! But didn’t even flinch or mind the photos!

Tsunami Advisory in Newport Beach – February 27, 2010
Tsunami Advisory in Newport Beach – February 27, 2010
As a result of an 8.8 magnitude earthquake which shook the sea floor off Chile, Tsunami warnings were issued throughout the Pacific including the Hawaiian Islands, the entire West Coast. The city of Newport Beach were ordering people off the beach, and were preparing for the possibility of a tidal surge surge in the Newport Beach area. I received a telephone call from the City of Newport Beach Police Department stating that there had been an earthquake, and there was atsunami advisory , and it warned residents to stay off the beaches in the event of a tidal surge. They were not ordering evacuation.
At the Newport Beach Pier, Lifeguards had prepared by parking all of their units on the pier – I have never seen that before.
There was also one Newport Beach Lifeguard unit on the beach which was warning visitors to leave the beach.
The tide was out in Newport Beach, and the water had a discoloration to it, however they may have been as a result of the rain storm that we experienced today.
At about 12:30 pm, small tsunami waves did hit the Newport Beach area, and then lifeguards closed the beach as they were expecting a 6-8′ tidal surge. The concerns were also from the strong currents in the ocean.
The tsunami advisory was a result of the earthquake off Chile, and this earthquake was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900.
Make sure you listen to the Newport Beach lifeguards, and keep off the beaches
