Posted by c tito young on 3 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 11 March 2021.

A geoglyph of a Flying Pelican 125m x 100m depicts the bird heading west.
The shape reveals a pelican diving for food, revealing a side view of a head, eye, pouch like beak, wings, tail, body and two feet. There is a long geoglyph of a single 125m line that suggests under the pelican that there is the ocean surface.. In regards to details provided by the artist and seen from satellite, the pelican’s pouch appears properly scored, with a hook at the very tip of its beak.
