Back in May my husband and I visited the areas along Lake Eerie near Port
Clinton. Having lived in Florida for 10 years, in addition to observing and
photographing BROWN PELICAN along coastal Virginia, it just did not occur to
me that BROWN PELICAN along Lake Eerie were not a common occurrence. Had I
done research like checking the Ohio rare bird list prior to our trip to
Ohio, I would have made it a point to photograph the adult BROWN PELICAN
that flew in and landed close to shore at the Marblehead Lighthouse on
Sunday, May 17, 2009 at approximately 7:15 p.m.

Hey all -
Perhaps I should've reported this sooner, but I was also contacted by a
boater named John Duckworth who also believed that he saw a pelican at
Berlin Reservoir. He noted the bird while boat-racing both last Thur. and
Sat. I described both pelicans for him and he said that he believed that it
was brownish in color, and that he had seen the distinctive bill, and told
me also that he had experience with Brown Pelicans in Florida.
So, three seperate reports? I think we on to something here. Craig Holt,
get out there and check it out for us!
In related news, Dane Adams observed & photographed two American White
Pelicans from the beach at Magee on Sunday.
Good birding -
