I went for a walk around Sloans Lake here in Denver last Sunday afternoon with Valarie, my friend and former DU Bookstore co-worker. As we were walking around the lake, we saw a group (gaggle, gang?) of pelicans standing around close to shore. I'm not exactly sure why there are pelicans - a sea bird if there ever was one - here in Colorado, let alone within the city limits of Denver, but I assume it is all part of the Great California Migration to Colorado. California has sent us quite a few odd ducks and the occasional strange bird, not to mention a few fairly normal people, so why not the American White Pelican too?
