American White Pelican
While considered "uncommon" in the Calgary area, Dennis has sighted pelicans each of the last three years. On our visit to Pearce Estate Park, about twenty pelicans were lined up fishing along the weir on the Bow River.

American Avocet
Although the sun was dipping to the horizon, Dennis detoured to a slough near Chestermere where he had observed Avocet's from afar the previous year. We were lucky that on this visit, half a dozen were on the marshy shoreline closest to the road.
