Pelicans Making Noise

Once again I thought Jack Turner fell victim to the plague that most writers face, there's just too much description going on. First of all this piece never actually caught my attention because pelicans aren't of interest to me, but loading the work with descriptions that went on and on didn't help the cause. He was very passionate in this passage, and I could tell he really has a liking for these birds. I was also impressed that he could write as much as he did about pelicans making sounds, which he made seem to be a controversial subject in the world of biology. Overall I felt he fit the mold with this book because all of the writers seem to be doing the same thing.
