Local nature enthusiasts have been treated to a visit from American White Pelicans at Fountain Creek Nature Center. Five of the large birds have been making their home at the local ponds recently. One of North America's largest birds, the American White Pelican can have a wingspan of about nine feet. (Jerilee Bennett, The Gazette)
