Earlier this week (3/19) I saw an Arctic Pelican along the Mississippi and yesterday (3/24), I saw lots of flocks flying in formation. They are fun to watch. It's only in the last few years that the pelicans have stopped here on their migratory route. Some even stay throughout most of the summer. The changes I've seen in bird migrations over the last ten years makes me wonder how they mirror the changes going on globally.
