White Pelican British Columbia 324. Oct. 25, 1932. Interview with Mr. J. T. McCabe: Swan Lake, 20 miles west of Quesnel, a few pairs of pelicans have always been reported. Pelican Lake beside Anahim S., always a few breeding reported. None seen there last of April 1932; lake still frozen over. Anahim Lake, first arrivals Apr. 22, 1932. Snow everywhere at this time. But Bowser, resident at Anahim for many years, says no young on the lake for 11 yrs. June 10-14, 1932 1-26 on Anahim. Never had kids on the lakes. Reports of scattered pairs in 6 lakes in Anahim Lake region. Charlotte Lakes, apparently more fond, in the Entawle Lake region where McCabe is going next year, there are reports of pelicans in numbers, but [illegible] no definite data. This sounds like ideal pelican country; semi arid, small timber, shallow lakes. None along mountainous coast. Powderson Lake, near Charlotte Lake a resident summer population of over 20. None known breeding.
