Birders,
This morning Rosemarie and I observed 5 American White Pelicans at Hog Island
WMA. Birds were located on a small island on Homewood Creek. Shortest route
is to park at viewing platform on the left side of the road and walk into the
WMA for about 3/4 mile. Special thanks to Clark Olson for showing us the exact
location of the birds.
Happy birding,
George Harris
