Observation details

Two white pelicans just circled over Erie basin marina riding the thermals. Huge white birds with black flight feathers and breeding bump on massive bills! I believe they encountered the Bald Eagle over Times Beach and one flew back towards me about 15 minutes later . Kevin R re-found the bird on the sandspit about 20 minutes later
