Pelicans on the Elk River Fall 2013

You might wonder, "what do pelicans have to do with a food blog?" Well, absolutely nothing unless you take into consideration that I got to enjoy our annual group of pelicans while they were feeding on "our side" of the river this past weekend. For three years now, we have enjoyed the white pelicans, seagulls and courmarants who have called the Elk River home from late October to early spring. When the river is dropped to winter pool, the other side looks like a huge island because the water is so shallow. Our side isn't much better, but we still have a small amount at the end of the dock.Because of that, we notice them feeding close by only every once in a while. Several hundred joined in for a feeding frenzy and I was loving it!
