Have you seen any pelicans?
 
I don't know why I find pelicans so interesting but I do. Maybe, just maybe there are others that like watching or taking photos of pelicans and we could use this thread to give each other a heads up.

None so far on our pond

A bit early I think.

While playing the first hole of the Calusa golf course at Belle Glade, last Friday, we saw five white pelicans sitting along the edge of the pond.

I see them daily...but I am sort of cheating. We're spending a little time oceanfront in SC. They are quite graceful in flight, especially when they fly barely above the water. Now diving for food...not so graceful

I saw one yesterday at Sand Hill 8am in the pond in between the 2nd and 3rd hole. Someone in another thread by the hospital a group gathers but I can't remember where or when.

Our pond (Summerhill) has had a lot for at least the past week.

I'm drawing a blank. Where is Summerhill pond?

There has been just one in our pond in Lake Deaton for a couple of days but hoping more will follow.

This week I saw almost a hundred white pelicans at a pond off Odell between Morse and Buena Vists - visible from Odell. We love it when they come to the water behind us. They are fascinating to watch as they work together to corral fish. Watching them land from the air is a treat - reminds you of a plane as they put their wings out.

Lots of them on Belle Glade last Friday morning.

xkeowner 01-13-2016 02:35 PM

Saw over 30 on Belle Glade this morning.

White Pelicans daily at the back of the driving range pond at Lopez GC. You can get a good view from the walking trail that boarders the rear of the pond.

Saw a couple on the Neighborly Way pond the past couple of days.
