Subject: DC Brown Pelican - YES!
Hi Everyone,
The Juvenile Brown Pelican seen this morning by District Dept of Environment staff is still out there (11:45 am) on the Anacostia River by the Navy Dock where the US Barry is docked. According to Paul Pisano this is only the second record in DC (if I read heard him right!)� The bird sat in the middle of the river for a long period of time and then mad an attempt to roost on a light post on the dock.� Unfortunately, 2 cormorants didn't want to share so it flew back to its mid-river roost.�
Wayne Baunmgartner and Dan Rauch both got good photos.� It's important to note that Dan first heard about this bird by his river survey team.� Last summer DDOE staff also alerted birders to the presence of a juv. White Ibis at Kenilworth Park.�
Way to go DDOE!!!!!
