In this Jan. 11, 2019 photo, Bert the pelican occupies a space at the Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island in Saunderstown, R.I.  The out-of-place pelican and an injured owl will likely remain stranded at the Rhode Island facility until the end of the partial federal government shutdown. The Providence Journal reported that the juvenile brown pelican — likely steered north by high winds — had become a sensation to bird watchers and dock workers.
