[mou] Pelicans

[Annette Smith]

I too was watching the pelicans this morning, but from Carver MN.  I estimate that we saw over a thousand pass over in groups ranging from 40 to 80.  Based on direction from which they were coming I believe they were coming out of Louisville Swamp in Jordan.  By 10:30 I had shot all my film and needed to run some errands.  I did notice sometime after noon another group of 40 or so fly over.

of nearby Pigs Eye Lake and moving out.  Groups of 50-100+ have been
flying off all morning starting about 8:30 or so.  I'm guessing I have
seen close to a thousand or more this morning and I haven't been
watching all that closely.  I just have happened to notice them out of
my office window.  Unfortunately, they frown on paying me to bird all
morning instead of my real job!

This has all been taking place along the Mississippi River just
downriver from downtown St. Paul, at the Metro Sewage Treatment Plant
(old Pig's Eye).  It has been quite a sight.
