A very cold looking *American White Pelican *was seen this afternoon from Kaposia Landing dog park (S. St Paul). It was on the west side of bank near the warm water outflow. Visible with binocs but scope helped. Huge bird bigger than Canada Geese, all white with black wing tips. Unexpected bird to see on this bone-chilling day. I felt sorry for him, all alone and looking cold. I hope he is finding enough to eat.
Great spot for *Bald Eagles*, *Common Goldeneyes*, and *Common Mergansers.* I also stopped at Simon's Ravine where a *Pileated Woodpecker* was making a racket; you may see my eBird<http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S12592142>list here.
