Hello Tonight after receiving a call from Mary Hart I saw an American White Pelican along the Lake Erie shoreline at Port Colborne. She first found the bird around 5 pm. We arrived at about 7:30 pm and had brief but good scope views before the bird flew off to the west.
Here are the directions: Take the QEW to Exit 57 (Victoria Ave/RR-24 towards Vineland 0.6 km; turn right at S Service Road and then left at the lights onto Victoria Avenue. Go about 27 km and continue going south on HWY. Turn left at HWY 3/RR3. Turn right at Cement Rd. Turn left at Lakeshore Road and turn right at Oakridge Crescent. Please note that the beach front is private property in this area and the residents don't want trespassers. Mary Hart lives at 103 Oakridge Crescent and has offered to show people the bird (if it returns). One birder suggested to me that Morgan's Point might be a good place to start looking too. All the best Marcie Jacklin Fort Erie, Ontario _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
