Yakkers and Tweeters,
I have lived in southern, eastern Washington for some time. I remember when the American White Pelican began showing up near the Walla Walla delta, and for me it was wonderful to see these birds. Then they moved closer, and I saw
them from the roads and bridges in Kennewick and Pasco. Now, I see them well up the Columbia Reach and the Yakima River at least to Prosser. My question is, did anyone keep record of this "habitat migration" or overtaking of habitat
for years and progress? Like when they were first seen at the WW Delta? Other places?
Just curious, I guess.
Thanks,
Nancy Darby
