[Birdtalk] Migrating White Pelicans

[John Morgan]

I'm in West Jordan near Salt Lake City UT, and saw the same thing on my way 
home just now over Jordan Landing area (a shopping mall). Believe I did see 
a sign "Laguna Madre or Bust" streaming behind one of the birds. They were 
in no hurry; still taking time to circle in a few areas of lift :)  Quite a 
sight in today's low cloud ceiling, northerly winds and temps barely 
reaching 50 degrees F. Snow level from today's storm looks like it came down 
to 5,000' (just above valley floor on the foothills..."benches" as we call 
them (remnants of prehistoric Lake Bonneville shoreline)), visible as the 
clouds lift.
