This morning at 7 a.m. Jim Peters, looking across the Patapsco River, spotted 
the White Pelican sitting on wooden pilings with cormorants. 

Upon arriving at the fort, I walked along the asphalt perimeter path around the 
seawall until I came to the spot which would give me the closest look at the 
Francis Scott Key Bridge. I panned the shoreline to the right of the bridge and 
when I came to the first petroleum farm, a group of  big round fuel containers, 
I looked out into the water and there were the pilings occupied by the pelican 
and cormorants.

I saw the bird at 8:45 this morning. 

I am posting for Jim. Thanks Jim for locating this bird.
