These were Pelicans. Wonderful flyers &amp; &quot;circlers&quot; once
they become airborne.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi everyone<br>
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>
