At 10:30 Sunday morning an American White Pelican was swimming between
Gull Island and Sebastopol Island at Presqu'ile Provincial Park.  An
hour later it was sitting on Gull Island (visible from lookout #2 on the
Owen Point trail) but soon disappeared behind some vegetation.  Shortly
after 12:00h. it had not re-appeared.

To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton.
Locations within the Park are shown on a map at the back of a tabloid
that is available at the Park gate. Access to the offshore islands is
restricted at this time of year to prevent disturbance to the colonial
nesting birds there.
