THE PELICAN FESTIVAL
Windsor is a unique Colorado city because each May flocks of stately
white pelicans land on its lakes for a month long respite during the
bird's migratory trek to the upper reaches of the North American
Continent. The Town of Windsor has portrayed the majestic bird on its
"Welcome' signs and literature for years, and its residents marvel at
the bird's unique appearance and annual visits.
Much like the swallows
are an infamous and popular migratory bird which returns each year to
the Capistrano coastal region of California - the pelicans are also a
celebrated seasonal visitor to the Town of Windsor and its lakes. Such
a unique, natural and timeless occurrence is worth honoring and
publicizing. And because of the pelican's unusual and unlikely
association with the Town of Windsor, so too, should be the event which
observes the transcontinental passage of the pelican.
