Hi Mark,Thanks for the alert for the brown pelican. I just came from there. The bird is present between Chimney Island and Dark lsland. It is repeatedly taking flight then landing on the water in the vicinity of a large red channel marker.JimSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Mark D.

Apparently best seen from the US side but did cross the border into Canada (Griswold Island is on the Canadian side).
