Pelicans

There are about 50 Pelicans on the small pond on Kim St. Is this normal I thought Pelicans stayed near the oceans or bays? What could they be eating here. Have seen them for the last 6 or 7 days.

You are seeing migratory White Pelicans. They stay here for about a week and then will move northward. Observe how they actually work as a team to herd fish into a ball shape and then they take turns scooping them into their bills.

The Brown Pelicans will be found on the coasts and are non-migratory.

We have seen them at the Chula Vista pond too. Beautiful birds.

Yesterday and on Sat AM white pelicans were on the pond off Bonita Blvd. Nice surprise to see them. They weren't there this morning.
