Brown Pelican at Lake Hasty (Bent) on 4/14

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

The BROWN PELICAN found and first reported on CFO Facebook by Jill White-Smith was still present at Lake Hasty this afternoon (4/14).  Several folks saw the bird right below the John Martin Reservoir dam with a large group of White Pelicans.  This area is between the southwest corner of Lake Hasty and the JM Res dam and is best accessed by driving down to the campground on the east side of the dam and then heading south to the fisherman's parking lot.  Large amount of water are being released and the pelicans are presumably enjoying a fresh supply of fish in assorted degrees of wholeness.

Is this the Lake Beckwith bird found by Dave Silverman?
