Observation details
Got a heads up from Peter C. that the elusive BRPE was at Sandy Neck flying west. I had intended to go to Town Neck but as I passed the Sandwich Marina I thought of all the posts that a pelican might like to roost upon. As I pulled in next to the canal, I saw the bird over the Scusset jetty. I snapped some poor but diagnostic photos to be added when ebird media is back online. I got back into my car and headed to Scusset. At 1:26, I saw the pelican above Horizons Restaurant working its way east over Town Neck Beach and the Sandwich marshes. I snapped a few more pics but captured only the trailing gull. Back in the car and to Town Neck,but was unable to relocate again.
