American White Pelicans do come to Iowa. We are on their fall route according to the DNR people we talked with on Sunday. Dale and I drove to Saylorville Lake to check out the Pelican Festival. I wasn't very interested in the festival, but was anxious to see pelicans so close to home. Evidently the pelicans did not get the memo about the festival. Their attendance was less than anticipated this year. Although it was a bit disappointing, we did get to see a large V-shaped fly over. That was worth the trip. I still think that pelicans are pretty cool. It's nice that they visit us in Iowa during September!
