Default Pelicans on OH?

I usually don't have much to post, but Sunday morning I was going across OH, and seen what I believe to be pelicans. I have fished OH for many years, and never seen these.
Maybe their migration?

Probably migrating through. I met a guy in FL that said the white ones come from the north and the black/white/grey ones are residents in the south. Makes sense, we had lots of white ones in MN, no dark ones.

I was fishing in Drake's Creek a few weeks ago. There was a guy on the shore with a real nice camera and tripod. He asked if I'd seen any (I hadn't). Guess it's a big deal.

Interesting. I'm from South Florida and never saw a white one down there. I thought the white's were mostly Gulf Coast oriented and basically migrated the Mississippi flyway.

I've seen them while fishing in Ontario in July. I had to take pictures as proof, knowing nobody would believe me! Or maybe I had 1 to many Molson Canadians the night before.
