I something very interesting this morning in our slough on Pace's Point... a flock very large white birds. After getting the binoculars out, there appeared to be 11 pelicans - white with a large bill - slowly swimming on top of the water. They looked just like the brown ones I see at the beach except all white. When they would flap their wings as though stretching, I noticed some black along the bottom of their wings. Several websites indicate they are American white pelicans and can be 4 feet tall with a wing span of 9 feet. I think I have seen these birds flying way up high overhead in the fall, but I have never seen them in the water so close to me. Has anyone else observed these birds on Lake Martin before?
