After warblers and Broad-wings to the north, we found
the AWPelican off the Belle Haven picnic area on Sat,
Sept 18, between 12:20 and 1:30. At one point, disturbed
by a boat, the bird lifted off and flew low over the
water for about 2 minutes. It was like a giant leaf
blower, scattering everying in its path--hundreds of
gulls and terns and even Canada Geese.
