Suggest you call the Medical Examiner for the County in which you discovered it.
I called the police when I found it, they said the islands were out of their jurisdiction. The sheriff's dept. said to call the Coast
Guard, they told me to call the morgue. No one really seems to care.

Whatever it belongs to must be swimming in circles.

Have you called the morgue?
I am going to call the coroner tomorrow.

Not human. Too thin first off... A human humerus (arm) and femur (leg) (the long single bones) for that matter have very pronounced ball shaped ends that make nearly right angles with the bone. How long are those bones anyway? Tough one... Looks bird like...

This might help set your mind at ease. Compare the bones in question with this skeleton. You will see major differences.

The bones are about 14 inches long each, But I think you are right, After I looked at a bird it could be a pelican. One of the nurses at the hospital told me it was human.

Is it hollow? Bird bones are hollow.
