The pelican is a noble bird
It flies from sea to sea
It eats its fill in Arkansas
And poops on Tennessee.

Last spring I visited the northwest and was very suprised to see lots and lots of white pelicans inland as far east as Wyoming. The Snake river in Idaho was well populated with resident white pelicans.

You learn something new every day. I had no idea that pelicans were anywhere other than near the coast.

That's very cool that they're also in the interior. I've always been partial to pelicans as they seem to be such relaxed, unhurried birds.

How lucky you are to have seen them.

We do not have them, too far from water, for me to see them.

I do have Quail, they have nested in the big tree for the past 30 years.
