Extra nice!
Carole forwarded me a photo from Marge Krampe of the Brown Pelican she
reported from Watts Bar Lake. This is a DIFFERENT bird than the one that
was seen last month at Fort Loudoun Dam.
The bird Marge photographed is an adult in breeding plumage with a white
head and chestnut brown nape and hindneck. The bird at Fort Loudoun Dam
was an immature, 1st-year bird with an all drab greyish brown head.
