We saw a large flock of big white birds with black wing-tips circling
high overhead one time in Buffalo Pound P.P. in Sask. Asked some native
workmen in the park if they knew what they were. White Pelicans! Our
first, many years ago. We were flabbergasted.

I was in Alberta this month and the day I was leaving I saw a
huge
(maybe hundreds) flock of birds circling overhead. I did not get
a
close look ( My binoculars were packed and they were injured,
probably
fatally, by Air Canada in my flight out, ) so I can only
describe their
behaviour. These were large birds with a wide wing span, they
circled
around each other like a flock of sandpipers in migration. They
called
but I can't describe that. Many swans and geese flocks had been
migrating in the previous days. The flock stayed in the same
area just
circling and reforming. I can't discount gulls although I have
never
seen gulls do this. <br>
I would appreciate any comments. <br>
i know it's not NS related but many list subscribers are great
travellers. Thanks for all the replies. <br>
