There have been a flock of 10 or so white pelicans over southern Oakland. They are huge, high flying birds with long looking necks and beaks. In the past at first glance I have thought similarly.

At first I thought they were geese but then I saw what looked like long legs trailing behind. Without my being in a situation to stand and look with Bono’s I couldn’t see any markings. They had long thin necks though. There were about ten of them. I’ve never seen cranes in oakland and it’s not really migration season. Did anyone else see something?
