Pelican... pelicans... pelican

Continuing from my previous post, Duck...duck...duck, I couldn't help butt think it 'audd' that an artist would paint ducks in his funky Florida landscape.  It seems much more likely to me that what the MacGregor's think are ducks, are really pelican's-- that abound in Florida.
On Mike Segal's website, I peruse his many prints and it soon becomes obvious that they are indeed pelicans. So now, consider the print in the MacGregor's possession, and then another of Mike's prints entitled "Two Pelicans":

And so leaving no stone unturned, we now venture to the pelican' side wiki page, and to this image:
