Thanks to Nico for sending the photo Sunday after spotting that flyby off West Seattle – American White Pelicans. They’re rarely seen in this area, though we did get a flyby photo last spring too. (The last sighting report before that was in 2013.)

    There is one that seems to enjoy a tree in the 4200 block of Beach Drive. See him there often.

    Probably due to all the pregnancies we have seen during Covid and the pelicans are delivering babies.

      They do resemble the cartoon version of storks!
