Pelicans in Kansas?

[TCRanch]

The cattle were at the lake this morning and when we got to the dam we saw what we first thought were snow geese but I'll be darned, they're actually American White Pelicans. Who knew?

I'm on the coast. Couple winters ago an injured brown pelican landed in the pasture with the cows. Sure had them stirred up and the hair on their back standing up. Like they never seen one. Pelicans fly over every day. I guess cows never look up.

A Nicaraguan that worked for me said he has ate them in the Dominican Republic. Strong fishy taste. But down there, if it crawls, swims or walks, it gets ate. Youl'd never see the light of day again if you got caught killing one here.

I don't have any personal experience but I've heard they will clean out a tank or small lake pretty quickly.

That's a good sign for us in Louisiana, when the white pelicans show up so do the king mackerel.

Global Warming. Maybe you need to call NMFS and apply for a Kansas Kingfish Permit.

Nice looking little lake you have there! Get many ducks?

It's a fully stocked 60 acre watershed lake, the last one they built around here. Lots of ducks, geese, egrets, the vultures are always there and evidently now pelicans. The fish are mainly bass, crappie, catfish & bluegill.

Average intake is 4 lbs a day.

They move inland to nest on the lakes
not uncommon here to see them on Sam Rayburn
