Sounds like this bird is heading north and/or moving around quite a bit!
See attached forward from the Minnesota list.

Brown Pelican seen flying North near Coates, MN.  West side of Hwy 52 at
Dakota CR 46 at about 10:30am.  I assume this is the Red Wing bird.  Lost
sight of the bird North of CR 46.

Marj and I were going down to Red Wing to try to see the Brown Pelican.
 Marj pointed out a farmer in the field just to the West of Hwy 52.  When I
looked at the farmer, I also saw a large bird flying North.  It looked like
a Brown Pelican.  We turned around and refound the bird in flight still
going North.  Marj pulled onto CR 46 and I jumped out with my camera.  The
bird flew right over the car and continued going North.  I got one (poor)
picture of the bird as it went away.  We tried to follow, but we lost the
bird.

Who knows where it will be next.
