From: Angie Williams <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 10:26:01 -0400 Subject: American White Pelican, Northern Ontario On Monday, April 28, I got a phone call from a friend to tell me that someone had seen an American White Pelican flying over the Mattagami River bridge that morning. It was heading north, presumably following the river.
Anyone heading north or visiting the James Bay area might want to keep an eye out for it. Smooth Rock Falls is about 35 minutes north of Cochrane, and about 8 hours north of Toronto on highway 11.
