[Ontbirds] Brown Pelican in Fort Erie
Hi
A Brown Pelican was observed in Canadian waters this morning at 9:26.
It rest on bouys on the U.S. Side but when a boat went by and flushed it
the bird flew into Canadian waters. Observed from the Niagara Parkway close
To the end of Bowen Toad. There is a pull off on the river side.

For those contemplating making the drive, the Brown Pelican had been seen regularly throughout the day. I just finished watching it with Blayne and Jean Farnan and Cecilia Verkley. It spent most of the time perched on one of the large green buoys close to the New York shore. It had been flying around and fishing earlier.
This is the 3rd day that the Brown Pelican has been seen along the Buffalo/Fort Erie waterfront. It tends to favour the area between Strawberry Island and the north end of Unity Island.
Good birding,

Hi
The Brown Pelican continues to be seen in Fort Erie. It spends most of its time resting on buoys on the U.S. side This morning it
crossed into Canadian waters twice between 8:25 and 9:00 am.
A navigation chart can be found on the noaa web site. The chart number is 14832. It shows the Canada/U.S. border and the buoys.
Observed from the Niagara Parkway close to the end of Bowen Toad. There is a pull off on the river side.

The bird is being viewed now sleeping on a green buoy on the American side.
I'm parked at the end of Bowen Rd in Fort Erie.
