I just received a report that pelicans have been nesting this spring at
Lake Shetek.  This sounds like a reliable report but it needs to be
confirmed before being officially documented.   My time is already
committed  to other surveys for the next several days. So I'm hoping to
enlist your aid.

They were supposed to be nesting on a small island visible from the the
bike path N/NW of the Currie Dam (2nd park bench north of the dam)

At this point, confirmation of nesting or young-of-the-year would be
great!

Many thanks,
