April 12th, 2008 Grey Cloud Pelicans

I went to Grey Cloud Island just West of Coon Rapids on the Mississippi. A large number of pelicans are feeding on the dead shad frozen in the ice during their migration stopover. Quite a variety of birds in the area, a few eagles, tons of gulls, ducks, a few Eagles, a dozen Great Blue Heron, and Double crested Cormorant. Never saw the sun, in fact it was snowing about half the time but, great to get out nevertheless.
