HI, Birders,
At about 8 pm tonight, May 18, a BROWN PELICAN landed at a small pond on Paicines Ranch. It seemed to settle in for the evening sitting on the ground at the edge of the pond. This pond is not visible from any public roads.
It was too dark for photos this evening. I will try to get photos tomorrow morning.
If there are any birders out there who might want to try to see this bird, please contact me: <debi...> for arrangements.
I am aware that there is a die off of birds along the coast, sadly. This pelican is likely looking for food.
