Perhaps this will help, Roger and all...
I was at Black Dog Lake mid-afternoon, but missed the skiers. Interested sighting, Jim. However, an apparently "healthy" American White Pelican floating on the little channel leading from the lake to the east outlet attracted my attention. I say "healthy" because unlike the pelican we've been seeing, this one had no compunction about flying away when several folks on the east shore of the channel got too near. As I crunched through the snow toward the little point to get a snapshot of it flying south, I found a pelican carcass on the ground only a few yards away from where the healthy pelican had been floating on the channel.

I saw it alive and well at around 3:00 pm on New Year's Day. So unless there are two pelicans or this one is risen from the dead, it was doing fine when I saw it. There were several other birders observing it at the same time.
