Leonardo Carrillo is a senior citizen who makes do by subsisting within a wooden hut on the Cuban coast. He doesn’t get to see his human kids much, but he does get to commune with pelicans.
About 100 of these hardy birds arrive each year from December to May. They head for Carrillo’s hut, knowing that love and food await (not necessarily in that order).
Carrillo welcomes their annual visit and has gotten to know some individually. Because he himself receives help from the kindness of others, Leonardo pays it forward to these fine feathered friends.
