This isn't the first time white pelicans have stopped at MNWR as they migrate north. I don't have time to check my records. They won't stay long. Having seen my first pelicans in FL 75 yrs. ago, I always believed pelicans were strictly a southern bird so I was amazed to see them in Yellowstone in Aug.1983.Pelicans do migrate to Canada for the summer as far north as British Columbia & Saskatchewan. You can check their migratory routes.Interesting fact ... pelicans have 3 stomachs.

My friend, colleague, and bird photographer par excellance, Miguel Gil, has posted on Facebook photos of White Pelicans at MNWR Today. Isn’t this far outside their range? Have others seen them? Why are they here?
