I am being asked why the white pelicans (5 at last count) are showing up at the Refuge (given their breeding range and migration routes). I obviously don't know, but some possibilities are it's migration time so: Blown off course? Birn with faulty orientation software? Young birds not ready for pair bonding so are checking out their new, big world? Any other ideas? If I had to guess I would say young "teenagers" checking out their world.....I've read where they reach sexual maturity at age 3. Any thoughts and ideas are welcomed. At any rate beautiful birds. Sar
