Yesterday afternoon (May 6) while fishing below Nickajack Dam in Marion
County I discovered an immature BROWN PELICAN hanging out with the Great
Blue Herons fishing for shad.  Several birders observed the bird and was
still present until dark.    Other birds found by birders in the area
included 21 Willet, 1  White-winged Scoter, Red-breasted Merganser.
