This morning after diligent searching I found the brown pelican up in minnesota on Little Spirit Lake. Little Spirit Lake is a Minn/Iowa border lake adjacent to Big Spirit Lake in Iowa. The brown pelican was loafing on an island at the south end of the north bay of Little Spirit. This island is visible from 710th street which is a gravel road at the north end of Little Spirit just west of the north boat ramp. I spotting scope is necessary to see the pelican since it is quite far. This island is approximately 1 mile as the crow flies NW from the grade at the north end of Big Spirit Lake. Here is a link to a map of the lake : http://www.iowadnr.com/fish/fishing/lakes/maps/lsp30.jpg Good Birdin' Ed Thelen Spirit Lake, Iowa [email protected] --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
