Observation details
***Bizarre; flying north along Hwy 80 just west of San Pedro River, very low. I thought it was a Great Blue Heron when it was still distant and in front of me, then realized something was different... when I pulled even with it I realized it was a pelican but figured it was a White Pelican (the bird was backlit and sky was overcast). I got ahead of it and pulled over and managed a couple pix before it drifted off to the west. I noticed there's a farm pond over there on the satellite map; perhaps it put down there? There's a major storm moving through at the moment and I wonder if it got blown in. flight path: Generated by eBirdGM
