[mou-net] Brown Pelican post
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.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican - Dakota County!
Brown Pelican seen flying North near Coates, MN. West side of Hwy 52 at Dakota CR 46 at about 10:30am. I assume this is the Red Wing bird. Lost sight of the bird North of CR 46. Marj and I were going down to Red Wing to try to see the Brown Pelican. Marj pointed out a farmer in the field just to the West of Hwy 52. When I looked at the farmer, I also saw a large bird flying North. It looked like a Brown Pelican. We turned around and refound the bird in flight still going North. Marj pulled onto CR 46 and I jumped out with my camera. The bird flew right over the car and continued going North. I got one (poor) picture of the bird as it went away. We tried to follow, but we lost the bird. Who knows where it will be next. --- David Cahlander da...@cahlander.com Burnsville, MN 952-894-5910 Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

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 Dakota County 46 and Highway 52 at the same time as the Brown Pelican. Don Mattsson also was there at that time as well. Lady Luck was with us today. Jim Otto Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
[mou-net] Brown Pelican Update
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 headed include Martin, Fawn, Ryan, Mud, Typo, Hoffman, Tamarack, and Long lakes.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican relocated, Goodhue County
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 Baypoint Park. It seemed to be staying in the area. Perhaps the photo on the link Terry Brashear posted was taken at the marina at Baypoint Park.

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 left.

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.

[mou-net] brown pelican seen earlier
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!) The Pelican was preening itself and was still there when we left after 15 min.. I was doing my BBS route in LeSeuer County yesterday, July 2, which happened to take me right around German Lake---how lucky was that!

[mou-net] Brown Pelican - Street Name
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 signs atop fence posts where each new home can be built in the future. If you park between fire numbers 47261 and 47233 on the right side of the road as you begin your drive down the cul-de-sac, then look to the right (east?), you will see the small cat-tail surrounded bay with the two white rocks on which the pelican has been seen--you will also see the two red buoys mentioned in previous postings. A scope is pretty much a requirement for a decent view!

[mou-net] Brown Pelican still on the rock
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.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican still there
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 waited patiently until 2:25PM when the bird stood up, leisurely stretched both legs, raised both wings overhead (showing the pale longitudinal stripe along the underside of the wings), looked around, stuck his head back under his wing and went back to sleep. Quite a show ! Thanks, Chad ! Ron Huber Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

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.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican still present on German Lake, Le Sueur County
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.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican update, Le Sueur County
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 shortly after he arrived a local fisherman showed up with a pontoon and offered to take us out to see the bird, free of charge. We boated to the southern side of the lake behind the island, where we found the bird sitting on a buoy. If it is perched behind the island on the south side, there is no where to view it from land, and thus the only way to see it would be from a boat. There have been a lot of fisherman on the lake today, and so your bets of hitching a boat ride are probably pretty good, although I can't guarantee that it'll be free. I have uploaded a photo of the bird to the Recently Seen webpage on the MOU website. This is either a second, third, or fourth state record, as there were two reports of Brown Pelicans several weeks ago near Alexandria.

[mou-net] Brown Pelican Update
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 place the bird has been seen - once on the south side of the island which is only visible by boat or from private property, and once on the north side of the island. There is public access to the lake on the north side, which is an excellent place from which to scan the lake - except for the south side of the island. We spent most of our time this afternoon scanning Lake Jefferson, just west of German L., for the pelican. The best place to look for the bird appeared to be Swedes Bay. The link below will show you where we saw 500+ American White Pelicans in three separate flocks along shore and actively feeding on the lake, and where the Brown Pelican appeared to land, though we could not find it among the AWPEs. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2FORM=LMLTCCcp=44.266899~-93.76637 9style=rlvl=14tilt=-90dir=0alt=-1000phx=0phy=0phscl=1cid=5D6F1918ED 24BB28!155encType=1 Note that this area is much more accessible by boat than by car.

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.

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, which projects out into the middle of the lake. It was there all day Friday but wasn't seen yesterday or today. - - - Anthony Hertzel -- axhert...@sihope.com Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
