White pelicans celebrated at Rockton Pelican Fest in Illinois on May 20

Rockton Pelican Fest, sponsored by Audubon Council of Illinois, will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 20 in downtown Rockton, and at the Nygren Wetland Preserve.
Each spring and fall, 30-pound birds that can sometimes be described as “odd looking” migrate through parts of Illinois, stopping on rivers and lakes to rest and feed. The numbers have grown in recent years and now the American white pelican has built a dedicated following of birders and wildlife fans.
