White pelicans coming back to islands, preserves; Sand Sculpting returns

It’s a favorite time of year in Southwest Florida. The temperatures have dropped a few degrees, making our days just about perfect and reminding us why we’re so happy to call this area home. And it’s not just the weather. We’re welcoming back some familiar seasonal visitors and not all of them are human. White pelicans: They’re back One of the sure signs that late fall has arrived is the return of our white pelicans! Captain Brian Holaway recently checked in with a photo to let us know these beautiful birds have been spotted around our islands and sandbars. Like our snowbirds, they head south each year to escape the colder weather, and their return is always a welcome sight. Unlike our year-round resident brown pelicans, these majestic “original snowbirds” travel thousands of miles from western Canada and the northern plains to spend the winter in warmer places like Southwest Florida. With wingspans reaching more than 9 feet, they’re among the largest birds in North America. And here’s something fun to watch for. While our brown pelicans are known for diving headfirst into the water to catch fish, white pelicans prefer teamwork. They often swim together in groups, herding fish
