Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
Check out what you have done! A book was published with reference and images from the PELIcams and would not have happened without your help! "Great Salt Lake Biology: A Terminal Lake in a Time of Change" Full text here. Thank you!!
Pelicans at Great Salt Lake need your help and so do the scientists who study them!

Message from the researcher
Pelicans are Great Salt Lake's polar bear. I hope the PELIcams on Gunnison Island will connect the world to the effects of water diversions, climate change and human disinterest in the weird, smelly and hemispherically important Great Salt Lake!
jaimibutlerAbout PELIcams
PELI Project (Partnership in Education and Longitudinal Investigation of American White Pelicans at Great Salt Lake, Utah) began in 2017 to further understand pelicans nesting on Great Salt Lake's Gunnison Island and the effects of our changing environment on their life history. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Tracy Aviary, MesoWest at the University of Utah, and Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster College have combined forces to put 15 PELIcams on pelican breeding grounds. Now, we need your help to go through the multitude of pictures to document disturbance, predators, extreme weather and rarely-observed nesting behaviors.
