[Mark D. Read via ONTBIRDS]

Just a quick update to say the Brown Pelican, first reported on Aug 30 on
the US side of the St Lawrence River near Mallorytown, was today seen on
Griswold Island (in Ontario). It was also seen on this same island on 31st
Aug. Today, it was viewed from 1202 Thousand Islands Parkway
(https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S73131778).

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican seen early this morning at Confederation Park, please post if you see it!

[Cheryl Edgecombe via ONTBIRDS]

This morning Tristan Uchida saw the Brown Pelican at Confederation Park near
the waterworks, it was flying east but briefly touched down.  Local birders
are out scanning now and have not turned it up but I am posting widely so
that if others are in the area and able to look or see the bird they can
post immediately.  More eyes, the better the chances.

Confederation Park is on VanWagner's Beach road east of Centennial Parkway.

This is a highly sought after Hamilton Bird!


Thanks
Cheryl Edgecombe

Re: [Ontbirds] Brown Pelican over Thorncliffe Mall

[Walter Fisher via ONTBIRDS]

Hi OntBirders,

My apologies for the lack of info in my report.

The Pelican was observed by my nephew Daniel Fisher, a non-birder with lots of
experience seeing Brown Pelicans in Florida and Mexico, and his girlfriend.  At
roughly 11:00am the bird was seen flying in a southwest direction over
Thorncliffe Mall, which is in the Leaside / Thorncliffe Park area of Toronto.

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican

[Stuart Williams via ONTBIRDS]

The bird rose up from pier five in the marina and flew up the channel , over 
the lighthouse   And then made a turn to the west about two hundred yards out 
from shore. The bird continued west out of sight. Try Port Darlington and the 
pier as the foot of Liberty street in Bowmanville or——— other poets west.

photograph the bird, and identified it as a brown pelican, possibly a
sub-adult.

The bird continues in the harbour and in the marina to the
west, sometimes disappearing among the boats in the marina.

 

Exit #401 at Mill street in Newcastle and follow the road south to the
harbour.  When the road divides just south of #401, keep left and follow
along the east side of the creek until you reach  Lake Ontario.

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican, Newcastle Harbour

[Michael Ferguson via ONTBIRDS]

Andrea Kingsley just called me asking me to send an alert out that Phil
Holder is currently watching a Brown Pelican at the marina in Newcastle
Harbour, also known as Bond Head, in Durham.

To get to the harbour exit 401 (east of Bowmanville) on Mill St and proceed
south to the parking lot right at the lake at the foot of Mill St.

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican - North of Point Pelee National Park, Jun 26, 2017

[Sarah Rupert via ONTBIRDS]

Hello All

Sorry that there was a delay in getting this report out - I only got a 
call from the observer this am.

On Monday evening, at 7 pm, a Brown Pelican was observed flying past a 
cottage on East Beach Road (this road runs south of Hillman Marsh toward 
Point Pelee).  The observer is very familiar with this bird from visits to 
Florida, and was confident in the identification. 

The bird was observed flying south along the shoreline towards to park. 
Another wandering bird to keep and eye open for on Lake Erie, if you're 
out looking for the frigatebird.

Good Birding!
Sarah

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican

[Bob Curry via ONTBIRDS]

Ontbirders,

This morning we spent from 0830 to 1130, except for a half hour when we 
went two blocks south to an excellent  family restaurant for breakfast 
(try it next Fall), sitting at the parking lot just north of Bowen Road 
and watching the Brown Pelican.  It spent almost all of the time on buoy 
#5  except when it was fishing in the adjacent waters. At about 11:20 it 
flew out to the centre of the river to join a flock of feeding Common 
Terns. The charts indicate that this was just into Ontario waters. We 
left soon after, funny thing.

Re: [Ontbirds] Brown Pelican in Fort Erie

[Josh Vandermeulen via ONTBIRDS]

For those contemplating making the drive, the Brown Pelican had been seen 
regularly throughout the day. I just finished watching it with Blayne and Jean 
Farnan and Cecilia Verkley. It spent most of the time perched on one of the 
large green buoys close to the New York shore. It had been flying around and 
fishing earlier. 

This is the 3rd day that the Brown Pelican has been seen along the Buffalo/Fort 
Erie waterfront. It tends to favour the area between Strawberry Island and the 
north end of Unity Island. 

Good birding,

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican -- more details

[Alan Wormington]

The bird was still present at Wheatley Harbour yesterday until at least 1:00 
p.m.  Shorly thereafter, a local fisherman stated (to Allen Woodliffe) that two 
kids swam out to the breakwall, where all birds spooked and scattered, 
including the Brown Pelican.

And at Cleveland, the bird actually returned yesterday afternoon (Friday) when 
seen arriving (from Lake Erie) at 4:30 p.m.

In a direct line the distance from Wheatley Harbour to Cleveland --- as the 
pelican flies --- is about 88 km (55 miles).

It is quite possible that the Brown Pelican may return to Wheatley Harbour in 
the days or weeks ahead.

Alan Wormington,
Leamington

The Brown Pelican has NOT been seen today (August 24) at Wheatley Harbour.

I just got an e-mail from Chuck Slusarczyk in Ohio, stating that the bird has 
RETURNED to Cleveland as of 11:00 a.m. this morning (the bird was first 
discovered at Cleveland on June 24th).

The bird was seen yesterday (August 23) at Wheatley until at least 12:00 Noon.  
If anyone saw it later than this, please send me an e-mail.

The recent movements of this bird are very similar to the strange antics that I 
described in detail for previous Brown Pelicans in Ontario and the Great Lakes, 
and is worth reading again:

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican - Wheatley Harbour, yes

[Sarah . Rupert]

Hi All

I've had a few people asking if the bird has been seen today and I'm happy 
to report that I got a text around 11 am to let me know the bird is 
present.

If you arrive and you don't see it right away, be patient and wait a bit - 
the bird sometimes moves to the opposite side of the break wall.  That 
side of the break wall is visible from Detroit Ave in Wheatley.

good luck and good birding

the far side and is not visible currently. Geez as I am typing he just flew

[Ontbirds] Brown pelican, present at dark

[Sarah Rupert]

Hi all
Just got a note from Pete Read, he'd tried to post, but wasn't able to.  The 
pelican was present on the break wall when it got dark, so it should be there 
in the morning for anyone thinking of coming.

Good birding!

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican - Wheatley Harbour, Yes

[Sarah Rupert]

Hi All

I was able to make it out to Wheatley Harbour after work and was lucky enough 
to get to see the pelican. It was sitting on the rock break wall as previously 
reported by Alan Wormington.  The bird stayed in the same location until 7 pm 
when it took off and flew out into the lake.  It had not returned by 7:45 pm 
when I left.  Just got a text message from Pete Read and the bird has returned 
and will likely roost there for the night. Pete plans to stay until dark and 
will post another update.


Best viewing was from the pier located at the south end of Kent County rd 1.
Good birding!

[Ontbirds] ***Brown Pelican*** at Wheatley Harbour

[Alan Wormington]

 
At 7:45 a.m. this morning (August 20) I was standing at the end of the 
east-side pier at Wheatley Harbour, where a BROWN PELICAN flew in and landed on 
the offshore rock breakwall.  I then blurted out some words that can not be 
repeated here!  For the next hour or so the bird preened, and then went to 
sleep.  I took lots of photos.

At about 9:00 a.m., I went back to the parking lot where both Jeremy Bensette 
and Ken Burrell had just arrived (they had been alerted earlier), and I walked 
back out onto the pier to show them the bird.  But remarkably, the bird was 
GONE and despite considerable searching, we could not re-find it.  However, 
just now at 10:35 a.m., Jeremy phoned to say that the bird was now back on the 
rock pile!

The bird appears to be a two-year-old immature, and there is no doubt that it 
is the same bird that has been summering at Cleveland, Ohio.  After a week's 
absence the bird returned there on August 16, but I have not seen any reports 
for there since.

Also, the same Brown Pelican made an appearance at Leamington Marina on July 7, 
when seen and reported in detail by Bill Kerr (via Allen Woodliffe).

I suspect the bird will remain at Wheatley Harbour for a while.

No LLBs!

Alan Wormington,
Leamington

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican at Niagara Falls

[Peter Burke]

Today my wife Dawn Burke saw a Brown Pelican above Niagara Falls twice over the 
period of 2 hours. The bird was first spotted about 2 pm soaring over the 
rapids from Dufferin Park with gulls. She watched it as her and the kids walked 
into town.  It was later spotted around 4 pm in roughly the same location, 
soaring again, a bit further downstream towards the falls as they were walking 
back to the vehicle. Although she didn't have binoculars with her, she's seen 
BRPE many times in more southern locations within their range and commented 
that it wasn't much bigger than a Turkey Vulture.  

Directions: She was parked in the Dufferin Isle Rd. off Niagara Parkway south 
of the Horseshoe Falls. The bird was observed from the walkway along the river 
going back north towards the Falls.

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican across from Fort Erie last evening

[Andrew Keaveney]

Hi Ontbirders.

Please see eBird or western new York bird hotline online for details. You will 
know as much as I!

Myself and Josh Vandermuelen staked out the area this A.M. and I went across to 
buffalo to get a closer look but I couldn't find either the pelican or any 
American birders looking for it.

It is almost certainly still in eastern Lake Erie so please keep your eyes open!

Directions: Waverly Beach in Fort Erie is where we spent time looking from. 
Take last exit (central ave.) before Peace Bridge.

Cheers.

[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican off the shore of Point Pelee - Friday August 24

[Sarah Rupert]

Hi All

Further to the report from Rondeau yesterday, we got a report at the park today 
of a Brown Pelican sighted off the western shore of Point Pelee yesterday by 
some local residents who were out fishing.  Definitely worth keeping an eye 
open for.

Good birding everyone

[Alf Rider]

Hello Birders.
 This morning a single observer reported a 
BROWN PELICAN at about 10.30am., flying overhead and down Lake Huron Near 
Kettle Point.
The observer checked with the Bird books before telling me.

So if anyone is checking the Lake around Sarnia/Port Huron, you might re-find 
it again.

Good Birding. 

Alf.
