Kerkini is shallow and is enormously productive, producing enough fish to feed a summer population of many thousands of Great Cormorants, along with hundreds of Great White and Dalmatian Pelicans, plus numerous other fish-eating birds. Both species of pelicans breed on the lake, with the Dalmatians the more numerous.

The Brown Pelican and the Peruvian Pelican are closely related and once were considered the same species. They are indeed very similar in all plumage stages, but the Peruvian Pelican is nearly twice as big as its northern counterpart. Brown Pelicans in non-breeding plumage.

Some 320 species have been recorded here, and in springtime it is possible to observe more than 150 bird species in a week. We also observed nests of Pygmy Cormorants , Dalmatian Pelicans , Little Egrets , Cattle Egret (with a chick), Squacco Heron , and Spoonbills. The lake lies at a mere 35 m / 115 ft a.s.l.

I would be fascinating to know how many species of birds it was pointed at during its time with me, but it must have been well over 1,000. I tried many times with varying degrees of success – the Dalmatian Pelicans ( below ) were one of my better efforts. Dalmatian pelicans : digiscoping flying birds is a challenge.

There are few places in the United States where simply driving around can leave you with a list of 30+ species, many of them large and spectacular. You can tell which abandoned lots host owls by a small roped off area with the tell-tale t-bars that the owls perch upon. I’ve spent the last week in southwest Florida.

The next one, the lagoon of Vatatsa (at the eastern side of the Valtos Bay), offered a lot more egrets, one Squacco Heron , two distant Dalmatian Pelicans and quite a few little things chirping from their hiding places in the tamarisk bushes by the road. Yet, beside a few Little and one Great Egret , a raft of Eurasian Coots , no birds.

The book is divided into three parts: “Introduction,” “Avifaunal Overview,” and “Species Accounts.” Patrol and enforce wildlife-damaging violations, including the taking of endangered native plants, capturing turtles, riding ATV’s on pedestrian trails, and abandoning fishhooks. It’s a very mixed chapter.
