Naomi, thank you for the link to the sounds of a pelican. I, also, enjoyed hearing the Ojibwe pronunciation of the word azhede. These touches add authentication and depth to your essay.
This is awesome! If I may, you could def get this piece indexed and top ranked by Google for people wondering about a resurgence of pelicans in Wisconsin or the lake who can then read this wonderful piece. You can either use words in a custom url (your default is the headline, which won’t help) or you can do it with subheads in the piece. Ping me if interested.
I am interested but don’t know how to do this. I was thinking of putting the story on my Medium account also.
PS my brother has been texting me about when he went to uncle Ernie’s funeral and he also saw all those pelicans. He thinks he has some photos of them diving and catching fish right off the main highway, but he’s not sure where the photos are.
Hiya! You can do it one of two ways. Under settings you can change the url to something about pelicans — you have to be on the desktop version. Go to edit and then settings and then look for seo I’ll send you screen shots via email
Or, in your article, you can just add a subhead like
Pelicans Return to lake ….
At the top you choose what size header you want. Either an H2 or h3
that tells Google it’s really important.
Getting ready for a call right now but will send after.
I remember the pelicans from Lake of the Woods and had learned of their disappearance due to DDT and their eventual return. It's such a great story for thinking about why federal regulations are necessary (helpful not a hindrance). Appreciated knowing the language origin of Shetek is Ojibway for pelican. What an adventure you had with a local birder. Great essay.
I'm not familiar with their migration patterns but I know that they have also returned after decades to places here in Wisconsin. They are incredibly interesting to watch.
Another wonderful story of connections. I did not know the meaning of shetek as pelican. Pelicans have become common in Wisconsin as well, (in the Madison area) as well as many on the Horicon Marsh for the summer. and other places passing through in spring and fall with some staying for the season.
There are two lakes in Northern Wisconsin Chetek in Barron County and Chetec about 40 miles north in Sawyer County, both in Ojibwa territory.
Interesting!
Naomi-Another indepth spin-off with photo support about you growing up. Good job. We went to see the pelicans at Chamber's Grove, too.
I’m glad you liked it. ( And the photos😉)

Pelican is a word in the subtitle.

Somebody mentioned that the pelicans that are here in Duluth on the St. Louis River will probably spend their summer up on Lake of the woods.

If the stats are correct, this has been one of my most read posts! I think many people have a pelican story. And they are such an interesting bird.

Thanks for your comment. I wasn’t aware of Chetec.
