Shot on 8mm film in 1958, this vintage home movie captures a black pelican in a zoo enclosure, its long beak open as it preens its feathers. The bird stands on sandy ground near a mesh fence, with a tree trunk and rocks visible in the background. The footage shows natural behavior in a captive setting, with the characteristic grain and color shift of mid-century amateur film. A second clip shows a large bird of prey perched on a rock formation, surrounded by greenery and artificial rockwork. This archival footage offers a nostalgic glimpse into Florida's wildlife exhibits from the late 1950s.
