Just a quick update to say the Brown Pelican, first reported on Aug 30 on the US side of the St Lawrence River near Mallorytown, was today seen on Griswold Island (in Ontario). It was also seen on this same island on 31st Aug. Today, it was viewed from 1202 Thousand Islands Parkway (https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S73131778).
