Pelicans needlepoint patterns

A pelican standing in profile on a short post or block, in several styles; the folk art one shows a pair face to face.

It has a heavy body, a long neck, and a very long beak with a hanging pouch, pointing down along the chest. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round. The beak is the bird, so count it first; most are marked intermediate.
