John Martin Brown Pelican, NO

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,
The adult Brown Pelican, reliably seen for about 10 days in the stilling
basin below the dam at John Martin Reservoir (Bent County), seems to
have departed. I did not see it on Monday or Tuesday. I think it
departed, as have most of the American White Pelicans it associated
with. I think the Brown Pelican should be considered "gone". Of course,
I'll update if it returns.

When the winds diminished at mid-day today, I was able to canoe to the
island(s) favored by yesterday's Ruddy Turnstone. It, too, has moved on.
