Subject: [Tweeters] a verdict on the 3 pelicans

Several of you responded to my posting about seeing 3 pelicans soaring
over a residential area near Northgate. You all thought they were
likely White Pelicans, so I'm going with that. Three reasons that
they were likely White Pelicans: 1. they were clearly white and black
as seen from the underside; 2. they were quite large (Whites are
larger than Browns); and 3. they are fond of soaring :-)

Anyone else have any experiences finding pelicans in an unusual area?
Whites are usually found east of the Cascades, no? Do they migrate?

No, I didn't get a photo, but there are 2 of us to corroborate the
sighting.
