Thank you, Tyler, for passing that along. Also, we received a call from National Public Radio telling us that Chan Robbins will be interviewed tomorrow for the "All Things Considered" program. We do not know, however, if this segment will also air tomorrow. Fran Gail et al.: Here's the Post URL for the short article on Whitey. http://search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999- 08/26/181l-082699-idx. html Good Birding! Tyler Bell mailto:bell@acnatsci.org California, MD http://www.audubon.org/chapter/md/smas/ >>> <GAIL@UMDD.UMD.EDU> 08/26/99 08:42AM >>> Hi all -- There is a "brief" story on the White Pelican in the "Metro in Brief" section of today's Washington Post, on page B3. The story notes the presence of the bird in area waters, its discovery Aug. 17, and some speculation on origin and when it may leave. I'm sure a lot of boaters and fishermen have noticed Whitely, who is VERY LARGE, VERY WHITE and obviously a pelican!
