White Pelican Migration

Pelicans FloatingSnow on University Lake …it’s November in Louisiana…no way.

From a distance it looked like snow on University Lake in Baton Rouge, LA.  Cars on the interstate slowed to look at the lake and the moving white blob.  The white was White Pelicans on their southern migration.  The pelicans visit the lake each year to rest for a time during their journey.

Being familiar with the pelican migration, we headed to the lake to enjoy the sight of these majestic birds and take pictures.  It has been said that a small group of the White Pelicans have stayed in Baton Rouge until late summer instead of migrating further south.  We don’t know about that but we do know these birds are a beautiful sight to see and watch.

Enjoy the pictures and we hope one day you will get to see these beautiful birds for yourself.
