We had finished up surveying near Travers reservoir in the afternoon one autumn day walking back to the truck we noticed several large moving shadows on the ground near us , looking up was a group of pelicans gliding by. They look a lot like pterodactyls sp? , was a bit odd seeing them drift by silently , they are big .
The prairies were a lot different pre-farming , many more sloughs and potholes dotting the land. Farmers slowly nipped away at the edges until they gradually filled them in .
