I had a nice sighting at Marmet Locks this morning. A dozen American White Pelicans were hanging around! It is both a very unusual bird and a very unusual number for Kanawha Co.
I had a call that they were there but missed them when I first looked. They all had their heads buried in their wings and were sleeping. I just skipped over that floating white mass of river debris. Imagine my surprise when one happened to raise its head just as I was scanning! They drifted around for a while and left around 09:30.
