It's okay though, the bird is currently living its best life at a local shelter.
The snow would prove to be an obstacle for Sielsch — but as someone who’s manhandled pelicans in the past, he knew what had to be done.
“It was kind of hopping around, jumping up on snow banks. I would step into the snowbank and then we’d be up to our waists in snow,” he continued. “And we kind of chased it back into the street.”The bird did not appear injured. “It looked pretty darn healthy to me,” Sielsch said. “It just looked a little disoriented.”
Even though pelicans fly over the region, they don’t typically hang out in the area, he explained. It’s too difficult for them to fish in Lake Tahoe’s deep waters, and if they land in a residential neighborhood, it’s even harder for them to leave. Unlike small, nimble birds like a blue jay, pelicans need more room for takeoff.
