Description

Bird in hand. "Salty", white pelican, a mere palmful when brought to Forest Park Zoo last spring, proves almost too much for Zoo Attendant Clyde Smith to handle. The bird, now five months old, is about a third larger than normal for his age. Photograph of Salty, a white pelican, held by Forest Park Zoo attendant Clyde Smith. Published in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram Morning Edition September 30, 1947.
