A big thanks to Bob Gochfeld for posting my sighting. Just a brief
follow up with a little more details. I was sitting on the beach at
Riis Park, Bay 14, with my wife. At approximately 12:55pm, she
exclaimed, "Look a pelican!" Sure enough, flying in from the west, and
very close to shore, was a Brown Pelican (my wife actually gets the
credit for this one, not me). It landed in the water, about 100 yards
offshore, between Bay 13 & 14, and hung around for about 20 minutes.
Eventually, it took off flying east, staying relatively close to
shore. Here's a link to a map with the exact location ... hey, maybe
he'll come back :)

I guess he's looking to catch up with his friends out at Jones Beach.
Good birding,
Rob
