Sighted this week for the first time on the Tule Lake Auto-tour route was the White Pelican. With an 8 and 1/2 foot wingspan, this bird is one of the largest in North America. The Pelican is majestic in the air, and soars with incredible steadiness on broad wings. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding.
