I t is approximately a mile from where the Little River and the Big Muddy merge
to the point at which the bay makes a 90 degree curve to the left. In other
words from my vantage point along shore drive all of this area is visible.
This afternoon there were no pelicans in this stretch of the bay.The water
level has held fairly constant assuring plenty of mud flats.
The bay has not iced over even though the temperature has average around 32
degrees for the last few days. These birds are big and have a huge appetite
so I am going to venture the thought that they have consumed most of the food
there.
Any one wish to suggest an alternative reason why they might clear out. Those
with eyes on the lakes be alert to flocks and possibly a new roosting and
feeding area, please.
