Curious, yes. Probably about food not me.

There is plenty of competition near the fishing boat piers, some Pelican will continuously patrol the waters around the tie ups.

The Gulls will stay nearby and even Dolphin.
They all know sooner or later old bait, or ‘junk fish’, will be cast overboard.

If you time a stop here when the boats are active the Pelican will ignore you and provide some of the best close shots you can get. It’s not easy to get detailed images of Pelican, I like to stop by here at least monthly.
Besides, commercial fishing pier always have fresh seafood restaurants near.
