The American White Pelican was still present at Hoover Reservoir as  of  2:30
PM today (Friday). Its last location was along the west shore  between Areas
I (just north of Lewis Center Road) and K (Wiese Road). It seems  to be
contently feasting on gizzard shad and their friends. It likely wandered  from the
area of the boardwalk due to the presence of fishermen but will  hopefully go
back to where it can be seen clearly from a close distance.

Common Loon (1)
Horned Grebe (5)
