unsuccessful search for Brown Pelican (Weld Co.)

[David Dowell]

I searched ponds and lakes from St Vrain SP and Union Reservoir out to Lower Latham Reservoir this morning and have been unable to re-find the Brown Pelican found by Dawn Albright on Monday at St Vrain SP (appeared in ebird alerts early this week, strangely not there now).  There are plenty of places for the bird to hide, and my success rate for re-finding birds is low, so all these locations are worth a check again.

Best birds found during the search were a first/second year Glaucous Gull south of Lower Latham Reservoir, Sandhill Cranes in the same area, and a Cattle Egret at Behrens reservoir.
