That pelican, again
During my interview with ornithologist Gerry Smith this morning, his advice for bird watching along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River was, “Whenever you’re standing by large water looking for birds, look at the water because anything is possible.” He then recounted the story from a couple of years ago when a resident of the Thousand Islands spotted a White Pelican near Grenadier Island off of Mallorytown, Ontario. Susie Wood emailed me the photo this morning, and I thought I’d share it. It was taken by Bill Jackson.
As Gerry says, “We don’t get white pelicans that often, but once in a while they wander in.”
Gerry Smith is author of “Birding the Great Lakes Seaway Trail”. Birders — where are your favorite birding spots along the Seaway Trail?
