Karn Plant, BA - Two imm Am Wh Pelicans (AWPE) flew east along the shoreline and landed a km east of me.  They stayed just a short while and then flew back to the west where they met up with eleven more AWPE roughly over the Saginaw River mouth.  I continued to track them w/ my scope as they soared off together in a westerly direction and faded into the hazy, late morning.
