The Case of the Missing Pelicans

Wildlife officials estimate nearly 27,000 American white pelicans have abandoned their summer nesting grounds at a national wildlife refuge in North Dakota. The question is why -- and where they went.

"It's like they packed up and left in the middle of the night -- except they didn't pack up, they just left," said Ken Torkelson, a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Bismarck. Left behind were thousands of eggs, which are unlikely to hatch, officials say. (SNIP)
