(Carterville, IL) — The pelicans are back in southern Illinois. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service yesterday said that white pelicans have returned to Crab Orchard Lake as part of their annual migration. The birds were rare when they first began stopping in Illinois about a decade ago, but now Fish and Wildlife managers say there are more than 12 hundred pelicans on the lake.
