Just to add to the previous postings, this new pelican's bill
coloration and markings were more typical of a breeding bird. I've
added a pair of comparison photos of the individual that was hanging
around Grassy Bay, taken on Friday, and the one from this morning on
the East Pond.

Correction: The second American White Pelican touched down on the JBWR East
Pond around 11:50 am and flew south (while I was on my cell with Andrew Baksh)
around 12:05 pm. Later appearing briefly soaring, then again departed. 15
minute wonder?
Good birding,
