Hi folks,

With all the discussion about Pelicans around the area, the following message on Oregon Birders OnLine caught my attention. I do not recall reading this on Tweeters - if this message is a duplicate, please forgive.... Has this bird been seen since?

Obolonians,

Recieved a call from Neil Folsom that he observed a Brown Pelican October
13 just below McNary Dam on the Washington side of the river. It flew
downstream but was still in the area when he left.

It may move downstream so keep an eye out for the bird anywhere along the
river.
