    Default Wateree Pelicans


    I don't know what to think about a flock of about 20-30 white pelicans hanging out near clearwater on Lake Wateree.

    Are there any ornithologist out there that have seen these before? May be climate change? From what I can tell, they are a Pacific/Central flyway bird.

    How did they wind up in the piedmont of SC?

    We get them pretty often this time of year inland in Texas. They may be migrating. Name: 20220225_144521.jpg Views: 348 Size: 48.3 KB

    I saw a brown pelican on the upper end of clark hill last year. It flew within 20 yds of the boat, so ir was a postive id.

    Seen them every spring for the last 5 years on Wateree. Also been seeing them on Monticello in the spring. And below the fish lift Saint Stephen’s for as long as I can remember there.

    Maybe they are just on a salt free diet for health reasons.

    Mama Pelican: why don't we ask for directions?

    Papa Pelican: Relax baby I've got this.

    Mama Pelican: I've never heard of Lugoff SC.

    Papa Pelican: let me check the map.

    Mama Pelican: lets just google it!

    Hey Foxy Jig,

    I didn't make it over to the Clear Water ramp, but the state park ramp was just about to dry to use. I launched just barely but taking up was a challenge! if it stays that low, Ill have to go to another ramp.
