Yesterday, there was a heavy migration of brown pelicans along the coast.
Early in the morning they were in small groups (20 or so) with several in
sight at one time to the west. But as the morning went on the groups merged
with line of up to 100 birds. Most were just along the beach and the
movement lasted until almost noon. Saw no heron or duck flocks.
