While Denver Water, which owns Antero Res., is working with CPW to minimize negative impacts to fish by relocating them to other lakes I don't see any consideration or minimization of impacts to Am White Pelicans that nest around Antero Reservoir every year (there are ebird reports of Pelicans seen there already).

No, I am not aware of what mitigation could be done but it certainly should be explored and some discussion of conflicts when bunches of Pelicans (that eat large amounts of fish) decend on other lakes. I remember when the owner of a private lake in Buena Vista began shooting at the Pelicans because they were eating the fish he paid to stock in his lake until told by CPW he could not do that without a depredation permit' from USFWS. The lake owner applied for the permit but it was denied. The problem was addressed with CPW providing the lake owner with non lethal products to harass the Pelicans off the lake.
I will contact CPW about this issue. Does anyone have any ideas on mitigation?
