Who knew there were pelicans in Reno? Apparently they like nesting up at Pyramid Lake in the winter, but they are all over the place and migrating around now. First we saw a number of them from our backyard in Reno. We needed the binoculars to see what kind of birds they were. (Well Reno is not legally in the TBY zone, but I’ve included the photos for interest.) Later, we made a stop at Martis Creek near Truckee, and saw some pelicans closer up as they trolled for fish.
I added the American White Pelican to my TBY list.
