A quick look at Montauk Inlet this evening revealed an immature BROWN PELICAN sitting at the tip of the western jetty at Montauk Inlet; presumably the same individual that has been present since the end of August. It often sits at the very end of either jetties, where it can be difficult to see. Sand dredging is in progress and the parking lot on the western side is closed.
