Pelicans live along the ocean coast, and are almost always within 20 miles of the shore. They like warm coastal ocean water or places where rivers meet the ocean when they are not breeding. They sleep offshore at night and rest during the day when they are not looking for food.
White pelicans bred at most of the eastern California's lakes north of Tahoe until about the same time. Breeding pairs were even observed here at the Salton Sea until 1957 or so. Now a couple thousand pairs nest in the northeasternmost corner of the state each year, at Clear Lake and Sheepy Lake in the Klamath Basin.
