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

To: MOU-NET@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. --- David Cahlander david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Burnsville, MN 952-894-5910 ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html -- Jesse Ellis Post-doctoral Researcher Dept. of Zoology University of Wisconsin - Madison Madison, Dane Co, WI #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
