Just to add to the previous postings, this new pelican's bill
coloration and markings were more typical of a breeding bird. I've
added a pair of comparison photos of the individual that was hanging
around Grassy Bay, taken on Friday, and the one from this morning on
the East Pond.

Unfortunately, it seems to have just been a 15 minute visit.
Good birding,
Rob
