300+ white pelicans on White Oak Bay, Kentucky Lake this morning.  The first 
birds arrived a couple of weeks ago and numbers have been increasing since 
then.  They are a quiet bird.  I never hear them like I hear the ducks, herons, 
egrets, and grebes as they spend the day fishing, napping and hanging out.  
Towards dusk they depart for some unknown roosting area in their beautifully 
synchronized "drill team" flight formations.
