The recent Brown Pelican post is confusing. The coordinates show no
immediate water bodies, but the post references a dock. Presumably this was
a river sighting
. Clarification might be appreciated by anyone wishing to see the bird.

The first one not to see the Red Wing Brown Pelican on Monday

A Brown Pelican was seen by Julian Sellers about 2:30 this afternoon in Chisago
County. He was driving north on I-35 about a mile south of the Stacy exit when
he saw the bird flying to the northwest. This is just north of the Carlos Avery
Refuge. Lakes in the general direction where the bird was
Just a side note on the Brown Pelican. Mark Jungens came down to pick me up to
go to Red Wing to look for the Pelican. Because of traffic we left my house at
9:20 rather than 9:00. Being late in this case was good fortune, it put us at

Vern and I watched the Brown Pelican at Bay Point Park, Red Wing from 4:45 to
5:10 pm today. It was resting on a dock by a pilon where the floating boat
sheds are. Near the point of the park. I think that's north. Preened, stood
up and stretched and sat back down. Was still there when we le
I was very surprised to run into just Craig Mandel this afternoon at Redwing,
MN. We easily found and were entertained by the Brown Pelican:

I'm driving to red wing in the morning and would very much appreciate any
updates on the bird's location, either over this site or by back channel.
Thank you.

John Hockema just called. He and Chris have relocated the Brown Pelican in Red
Wing. From the St James Hotel, drive to the river. Make a left and head to
the first large grain elevator on the right. The bird was sitting on some
pipes (?) on the river, then was flying around low towards Baypo
Spent the morning looking for the Brown Pelican with no success. Also did
check some of the lakes further south but like Jefferson and German, there many
areas that cannot be seen from the shore.

The Brown Pelican WAS present yesterday morning, July 2, when we arrived about
9:15-9:30, exactly as advertised on its rock and seen easily from the Jason
Adams Court spot. I had 5 printed emails with me describing precisely how to
get there--thanks to you all for the posts!)

Hi All,
Just thought I would contribute the name of the gravel cul-de-sac road that you
turn onto from County Rd. 13 at the south-west corner of German Lake in La Seur
County: it is Jason Adam Ct. When you turn onto this road you will notice
that there are house "fire numbers" posted on blue
The Brown Pelican was seen from 2:10PM until 2:30PM by the Huber brothers at
the exact spot posted earlier by Chad Heins. Someone had thoughtfully scraped
a large arrow in the dirt road so we set up out 'scope there. The pelican was
asleep on the rock with the red and white buoy nearby. We wa
The Brown Pelican is still at the same location on German Lake with
the view from the short road off of Cty 13. It was resting on the
rock by the two red buoys at 10am but wasn't there when I returned
around 11am - but it soon flew back in and resumed it's post on the
rock.

The Brown Pelican was still at German Lake in LeSeuer County as of 4:45 this
afternoon (6/29). Believe it or not, it was roosting on the same rock as Chad
Heim's post at 8:30 this morning. Thank you for that post, Chad, and good
birding to all.

Milt Blomberg just called from German Lake in Le Sueur County and the
Brown Pelican was back at the spot referred to in Chad Heins' posting
this morning. Milt spotted the bird at 3:30 and it did not move from
the spot until at least 4 when he called me.

Hey birders!
The Brown Pelican on German Lake was still present at 8:30 this morning. I
found the bird on the extreme southwest side of the lake where it was loafing
on a rock in a small bay. The good news is that this bird was easily viewable
from the road and did not require a boat to view.
About a dozen birders spent the afternoon looking for the Brown Pelican in
Le Sueur County today, with only a brief sighting by some in distant flight.
German Lake was very quiet, and nothing was seen there. However, aside from
the in flight observation today (which wasn't mine), this is the only
This morning when I arrived the juvenile Brown Pelican was flying low
over the eastern side of German Lake. In flight it was best viewed
from the north boat access. I was only able to view it for a few
seconds until it disappeared due to distance and heat waves. John
Hockema showed up, and
I just got off the phone with Bob Dunlap who said that the Brown Pelican was
still present this morning on German Lake in Le Sueur County. It was hanging
out around the island as previously stated.

Wally Swanson and Vern & Cindy Krienke are reporting an immautre or
sub-adult Brown Pelican on German Lake, Le Sueur County, near the
lake's island. The bird has also apparently been seen on Lake Jefferson.
This is the third report of a Brown Pelican in Minnesota this year.

I have little news to report on the Brown Pelican. I have been told
that the place where the local birds tend to roost is private
property and that a boat might be necessary. Lake LaHomme Dieu is on
the chain of lakes just north of Alexandria. The pelican was first
seen on Government Point,
I have an incomplete report of a Brown Pelican at Lake Lahomme Dieu
in Douglas County, but nothing specific. I am trying to get
additional information.
