Episode Details

Albert Lea Lake in Minnesota has become an unexpected wildlife wonderland, dominated by a thriving colony of pelicans—mostly males—with wingspans up to eight feet, feasting on fish and crawdads. For nearly 30 years, Pelican Breeze Cruises has offered guided tours every Friday and Sunday, giving visitors a chance to witness not just pelicans but also eagles, egrets, cormorants, and herons all coexisting in harmony. Captains like Bruce Ness and guests like Nancy Greiner describe the experience as deeply peaceful and community-building, offering a rare escape from daily life right in town—far from the usual bustle of Interstate 35. It’s a gentle reminder that nature’s most breathtaking moments are often just a short drive away.
