Wascana Creek Pelicans

To be honest I don't know a hell of a lot about pelicans but, for reasons I don't understand, there are a whole lot more of them on the prairies these days.

They are pretty amazing to watch, huge birds really.

In recent days the water has been so high on Wascana Lake in Regina the city opened the weir at the Albert Street Bridge to see if they could get the water level down.

Tipped off, I went down to the dike to watch them this morning.

To see more pictures of pelicans feeding and swimming in the foam generated by the rushing water have a look at the blog, Latitude Drifts.
