The white pelicans, I just counted 50, are still near Friendsville and
Ish Creek Bay in Blount County. This is the 7th day they have been in
the area which seems like a long stopover for East Tennessee. Does
anyone know how long they usually stay in one place when they stopover
in Tennessee?
The pelicans are visible this morning from Lowes Ferry Road. They are
across the lake near the mouth of Ish Creek which is the inlet going up
to Ish Creek boat ramp. Sometimes, a lot of times lately, they are in a
cove not visible from any roads.

The size of the White Pelican flock at Ish Creek Bay I reported earlier is
actually closer to 53 white pelicans. A boat just flushed them and when they
flew I got a more accurate count. They were all huddled together when I tried
to count them early this morning. They are now in a new location on the shore
of Ish Creek Bay where they are visible from Lowes Ferry Road before the Scenic
Point gate.
