went to Atkins Lake just off the river at pine bluff yesterday and there were hundreds of pelicans all over the lake .I have never seen that many around here before,do they migrate or get lost or what? They are very big birds has anyone else seen very many?

When I moved here from the coast, I was shocked to see pelicans. I thought they were strickly a "blue" water bird. I see them frequently now while working at the port. They are a migratory bird. Check out Darryl's websight. I think I remember he has some pictures of them on Degray.

I've seen big flocks on White River at Batesville twice in my life. I absolutely couldn't believe it the first time. They were colored like snow geese, and when I looked them up in a bird book I found out that they spend their summers in Utah or Canada or somewhere. I can't remember now.

I used to fish Atkins alot whern I lived in PB. I did not ever see many, but early in spring there were usually 10-20 out there every trip. I did some fishing below Jefferson Dam and there were always alot of pelicans there in winter and spring. I even caught one one time while fishing for stripers below the dam there.

pelicans on the river
I work in an Office on the Arkansas River near downtown with a 3rd floor view for the past 10 years. I see these B-52 size birds, flying in big flocks doing big circles hitting rising thermals pocks as they wind up and down the river at a pretty high level. They are white with black wing tips...and the monster yellow beaks. They look like they have about a four foot wing spand. Also Sea Gulls frequent back and forth at different times. Birds...blah blah. I like the summer months when you might spy a topless babe from time to time zipping up and down the river....or some nut out there trying to ski when the water is flowing hard.
