    American white pelicans

    One of our largest birds of any type, these huge pelicans gather down here in winter in groups of dozens, but you never know where you'll find them...they could show up in a local wetlands, or a golf course lake!

    A friend of mine, who is a much more experienced birder, let me know that some pelicans were hanging out at Eagle Marsh. I went over with my BIL. We found them, and were able to get some good views. Neat birds!

    There were probably a couple hundred or more of these pelicans at this marsh. One or two or a few would take off and then start circling and climbing as more joined them before departing towards the north.

    While I was observing, the pelicans would periodically form large mobs (like the group in the foreground) and cruise as one around the marsh and in unison would Rhythmically dip their heads under water and then lift them repeatedly.
