Hello Ontbirders
I've just received credible information about an American White
Pelican on Golden Lake observed on Sunday, from 4:30pm to 8:30pm.
The unmistakable bird was described extremely well, including the
adult dusky crown feathers, etc.
It was observed resting, and later preening, at the shoal near
Hoffman's Point on the east side of the lake.
The observation was made from the south shore of Golden Lake, from a
cottage on Rocky Point Road.
The bird was along the shoal in shallow water approximately 100 meters
out from the cottage.
It was NOT present this morning.
The observers are cottage owners and are extremely concerned with an
influx of birders.
Although it should go without saying, I expect all interested birders
to be sensitive to private property, speed limits, etc.
Jim Bryce (the observer/cottage owner) suggests that any interested
birders visiting the area, and wishing to view the location from Rocky
Point Road, do so only from his property - 396 Rocky Point Drive.
Please do NOT trespass on other cottage properties.
Directions from the village of Golden Lake:
* Go west on Kokomis (Hwy 70) about 3 km
* Turn right onto Hoffman, and go about 1 km
* Turn right on Zadow
* Keep right when the road forks
* Continue past the hairpin curve to #396 Rocky Point
Good Luck
