There were 2 American White Pelicans sitting on a bar near the islands at the north end of the lake at 3 pm. I saw them from the New Moorefield access (Temple St. Off of Moorefield Road).
Later at about 6 pm I was at the marina looking through lots of gulls coming in to roost on the gravel bar. Larry Jeanblanc photographed a Greater Black-backed Gull there earlier in the day. 
There were many Ring-billeds, half as many Bonaparte's and a dozen Herrings, but no Black-backed. There were 100 or so Red-breasted Mergansers with a few other ducks sprinkled in. The two Pelicans came flying in from the north and landed near the action for a couple minutes. They took off just as a heavy snow squall started and flew back toward the north past a young Bald Eagle.
