Dear Molly,

I'm assuming your thinking of American White Pelicans.  Numbers often drop 
in fall and then pickup a little in December as birds start to head back to 
the interior.  I would recommend walking out on the trail between the Palo 
Alto Flood Control Basin and Charleston Slough.  If none are there, take 
the path along nearby Salt Ponds A1 and A2W (see the maps on Kendric Smiths 
web site).  A visit after sunrise is often nice because birds are moving 
from evening roosts to morning feeding areas and can be quite 
spectacular.  Or an afternoon visit may find them loafing in Adobe Creek in 
the flood control basin.

If its Brown Pelicans, go to Monterey, Santa Cruz, or Princeton Harbor.

Bill
