I couldn’t help myself, my curiosity got the best of me, so
I made a return trip yesterday to Plat I reservoir to check on the presence of
the American White Pelican. It was
there. It is pretty hard to miss its
massive size in outstanding white shows up pretty easily. In fact, notice for comparison the Great Blue
Heron on the right. I’ve done a little more research on pelicans, and am
guessing that this was a migrating bird from possible breeding grounds in
Canada, and on its way to wintering in southern California or Mexico, and for
whatever reason got dropped from the flock in route. It will be interesting to see how long it
hangs around, I may never know, but I do know it was there for two days at least.
