   ocr: PELICAN PARENT This stained-glass window from a church in Heron Lake, Minnesota, shows a pelican feedingi its young with blood from its breast. Until recently, this Christian legend was seen as - an image ofChrist's sacrifice for humanity. Pelicans gather at Heron Lake during migration. In real life, they do not mutilate themselves, but they are good parents,and this may be the source of the legend. SEE ALSO
