Continuing stakeout bird From my blog - One of the more unexpected fallouts of Hurricane Sandy was a significant number of White Pelicans reported in New England – one in ME, 3 in NH, 2 in MA, and several sightings of at least 1 in CT. But most were of flybys or were otherwise not readily chaseable. But one seemed to be quite reliable at Rocky Neck State Park in CT. With excellent directions from some local birders we went right to the correct spot in the park and instantly saw the bird. It was sleeping in the marsh, apparently in the same spot it had been for a couple days. Was it sick or injured due to the storm? I’ve inserted below an over-exposed phone-scoped photo.
