The photos in the slideshow linked at the end of this post are mostly about pelicans seen over the holiday season. Large numbers of pelicans were seen at UCSB lagoon (earlier post), Goleta Slough and the Santa Barbara Harbor. The largest numbers were seen at the harbor, with some of the pelicans roosting on the roof of a restaurant. Maybe, pelican platforms are needed. It is certainly wonderful to see them doing well.
On edit: there may be larger numbers than usual, but some of the pelicans are not doing too well.
