I had a pleasant surprise this morning when I headed into the fish hatchery around 7:30AM. In one of the front ponds was a White Pelican. He flew around the fish hatchery a couple of times and left around 8:45am heading west. I stayed until 2 this afternoon and he did not return. I did get some images and will post them later tonight when I get them processed.
