The migrating American white pelicans are massing in several places, including one favorite spot — Saylorville Lake, north of Des Moines. Kami Rankin, spokeswoman for the Polk County Conservation Board, says these are surprisingly large creatures.The pelicans weigh in around 17 pounds and have a wingspan between eight and ten feet.
