Brown Pelican at Point Roberts, WA‏ Wayne Weber 9/6/13

Birders,



Yesterday afternoon (September 4th), David Schutz of Coquitlam, BC reported a BROWN PELICAN flying past Lighthouse Marine Park at Point Roberts. This is the first sighting I have heard of this year in the Puget Sound/Georgia Strait area.



Also seen by David at Point Roberts were 40 COMMON TERNS and a PARASITIC JAEGER. Brian Self, birding Point Roberts at a different time yesterday, found 130 COMMON TERNS, but missed the pelican.



Who knows what will show up next? We are looking hard for Elegant Terns, but no luck yet!
