The pelican is still present now in the middle of the lake. A breeding
plumage Common Loon also flew in while I was here.

I got a call from one of my neighbors that lives in view of the lake
around 7:30 p.m. this evening. His wife saw a large white bird land on the
lake and they were pretty sure it was a Swan. I hurried down and the bird
had gone into a cove from which it eventually emerged, revealing that it
was an American White Pelican. It was swimming further back the main
tributary of the lake when a boater was heading in, so the bird took low
flight. From my vantage point I couldn't tell if it landed or kept going.
It was very close to dark at that time. I plan to be down there near
daybreak, but with the warm weather comes more fishermen in boats, often
very early.
