Hi All,
A flock of 14 American White Pelicans was spotted by Lyn Folkes as they kettled over York Blvd. this morning at 9:12 am. Bruce Jones, Jennifer Bowman (RBG Aquatic Biologist) and another RBG staff member were present as these pelicans flew closer and lower, providing excellent views as they passed overhead at the RBG Arboretum Boathouse. They disappeared over the trees to the west. Possibly headed to the Marsh Lookout or Dundas somewhere. Bruce Jones got a 
photo which is attached here. This will be the same flock that was spotted by Richard Poort yesterday evening as I saw on the rare eBird alert.
Largest flock of Pelicans I've ever seen in the sky!
