An unusual visitor was seen today at Semiahmoo Spit, a Brown Pelican.

It was hanging out on one of the pilings, then would fly up and choose another nearby.

I last saw one here on the Blaine side of the channel April 28th of 2009!

Thank you Phile C. for bringing this to my attention.

A rare visitor to the shores of Semiahmoo Spit, Blaine WA. I've only seen one other about 7 years ago here. However, the local captain of the Plover says he usually sees one almost every year. It's been seen here on/off for a few days now. Thank you, Phil C., for calling me about this!
