[cayugabirds-l] White Pelican
My neighbor who lives a few houses south reported that at about 9:30 am today she saw a WHITE PELICAN flying north over Cayuga Lake. She noticed the black trailing edges on the wings and the long yellow bill on the large white bird. Said she couldn't believe her eyes, but it was a pelican! Too bad I was not looking at the lake at that time. Donna Scott Donna L.

[cayugabirds-l] White Pelican
Hi All, I would like to add for those of us who might not know, that after a little research, I found that the White Pelican co-operatively feeds with the cormorant because when the cormorant dives, it stirs up the fish to the top of the water where the pelican can then scoop up the fish. Even so, the strategy did not seem to be working. That would explain why the pelican is following them. Here are a few shots, nothing spectacular because the light really dwindled, but for the record. http://www.dianawhitingphotography.com/Galleries/Birds/Central-New-York-Rarities/ Diana Whiting http://www.dianawhitingphotography.com/ -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] White Pelican
Hi All, I went today to look for the White Pelican. I got there at about 7:15 and left a cold five hours later. Unfortunately, this bird is not eating at all, and I wonder if perhaps the water is too deep there for it to be successful. I noticed that it would follow the cormorants around. I think it was hoping to steal a meal as it never seemed to be making any attempt at 'fishing'. I stayed really to try and figure out if it was eating, but had to leave at 12:15. I feel kind of sad looking at the weather forecast. I wonder if this bird has the strength to fly more than the short flights I saw. Photos after my camera warms up and can out of the bag.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] White pelican Towpath Rd
Thanks for tip, Carol! Good views from Towpath Rd. White Pelican is feeding now, by sticking bill sideways in water & catching something, which it swallows now & then.

The White Pelican is best seen from Towpath Rd. I drove all the way to the dike , but didn't need to go that far. There are two islands of vegetation. It is sitting toward the dike end of the second island in full view. Van Dyne Spoor was a disappointment since it was full of canoeists which chased most birds away. The two Red Headed Woodpeckers were very busy bringing food back to the nest cavity today.

I just called the Montezuma lodge and neither Mark Miller nor Chuck Gibson that volunteer there has any information about these birds. Larue and Jackie were still out doing their survey so maybe more info later.
