Every time I visit Gaillard Island it feels like a Jurassic Park experience. It is a man-made island in Mobile Bay created with dredging material from the ship channel. It is now the only nesting area for brown pelicans in Alabama. This blog entry features nesting brown pelicans from a June visit to the island.
