[TN-Bird] Immature Brown Pelican at Duck River NWR

I wrote a long report on Island 13 and the fall out of shorebirds at Ensley 
 on Sunday but evidently it was lost in the Internet hole. Anyway, 9 
species  of shorebirds were seen on Island 13 Saturday, where the Least Terns 
were 
doing  battle and loosing big time to the 4 wheelers. Mom and 6 
Black-bellied  ducklings seem to have weather the storm and 13 Wind Bird 
species were 
seen  after a weather fallout at Ensley Sunday, with one Upland. Nine 
Forster's, one  Common and 2 Black Terns were seen on Dacus Bar Sunday 
afternoon.
Now for the real news.............
 
Clayton Ferrell with the Duck River NWR Unit near New Johnsonville, TN  
reports an immature Brown Pelican at the following pools or out over the TN  
River where photos were taken..
 
 "It was originally observed at the lower (western) end of Pool 10 aka  
Grassy Lake.  It was last seen sitting out on Kentucky Lake about a quarter  
mile out from the outer levee out from Pool 10.  One would either have to  
take a boat or walk a mile down the levee to get to near where it was 
observed."   
Good Birding  !!!
