My wife and I have observed a Brown Pelican on Long Pond, near Lake Park south of Valdosta (Delorme 67 9:D) three times in the past week: 02/24, 02/27, and then this morning 03/03. It's usually in the company of Double-crested Cormorants (100+ at times) and Ring-billed Gulls, although this morning it is alone. Alas, there's no public access to Long Pond, so I can't give directions to any good public boat landing or other vantage point. When I first spotted it last week I thought it was a storm straggler, and given Thursday night's storm it might still be. I haven't seen it feeding yet, but it obviously is finding enough fish in the many ponds in this area since it's been here for a full week.
