[EBB Sightings] White Pelicans in Berkeley

Hi,

My name is Mike Farrell, and while I am an occasional birder,  
watching birds has given me much pleasure for many years.

Yesterday my wife and I saw a flight of 15 White Pelicans in a V,  
~300'  above the intersection of Oxford and Vine, just two blocks up  
from the commercial district in north Berkeley.

They wheeled in a few lazy circles then flew off in the general  
direction of Memorial Stadium.

I've seen them in this area before, but much higher, riding the lift  
above Cordornices Creek canyon.

Perhaps they were off to try their luck over Strawberry Canyon.

Pleased to meet you,

Mike Farrell
