Fort Patrick Henry Lake, Sullivan Co.  
Hemlock Park Dr. 
(off Hemlock Dr, which leads from Ft Henry Dr to Warrior's Path S.P.)

BROWN PELICAN  - 1 immature

First photographed Sat (15 Jul), apparently by local resident; but not
known to local birding community until late yesterday, when it was 
searched for unsuccessfully. 

I saw the bird shortly after noon today at the same spot where it was 
seen Sat.

Thanks to Bambi Fincher who reported it to Glen Eller who notified me.

This is the second record in Northeast Tenn. The other was also in Sullivan
Co a few years ago.
