Pelican Migration 2007

This gallery is a collection of images I captured during Spring 2007 at   Dick Young Forest Preserve in Kane County Illinois between 07-16 April , 2007.
These Pelicans have been stopping over and resting here for a number of years around Easter on their migration back North to Canada.
This year they have stayed a bit longer due to the cold front that dropped in while they were here, including Snow!

We live in the lower Sierra Nevada foothills. On Thursday June 19, 2008, approx 60-100 Pelicans flew over our home in Yuba County flying towards the Pacific Ocean. It was absolutely amazing to see!

We live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California one hour north of Lake Tahoe. Sunday May 25, 2008 appox 300-500 were sited landing at 2:30PM at about 7:30 PM they took flight for about 30 minutes flying in and around the trees eventually settling in Whitehawk Golf Course water hazard they spent the night. One of the most beautiful sites we have seen.
