pelicans

Ever go for a walk and see birds hanging around that you've never seen in your town before? I never knew that pelicans lived in Phoenix. We are a desert and this is a river. They must have got lost on their way to California.
That's very odd, maybe on their way back to their "home" state, Louisiana?!

@fullcircle I just read that they are typically younger pelicans, first years, just pretty much exploring before heading on to San Diego.

@fullcircle Oh, and they just 'caught' a 44lb beaver the other day. He was sick (probably eating garbage) but is doing okay: http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/12-news/2015/01/14/12-news-beaver-tempe-town-lake/21770163/

They look a bit bewildered! I saw pelicans on the Illinois River last fall and thought the same thing! They had to be lost. Someone thought they may have been migrating. Who knows!???

Strange site indeed. Hopefully they are just traveling through.
