The marker is $2.94 on Amazon and looks like a great idea.  I have lost birds flying into my greenhouse .
Thanks, Kathy!

Yesterday afternoon Mike Sargent, Ej Jewett (who is visiting from Costa Rica) and I found the American White Pelican in Missisquoi Bay just north of Shad Island on a sandbar with numerous Ring-billed Gulls. The bird was present for about almost an hour before taking off towards the west. I’ve provided a link to my website for any who are interested in the series of images I was able to capture.

> During a pleasant bird walk with the Friends of the Missisquoi at the Stephen J. Young Marsh yesterday morning, I was surprised to learn that the pelican was still being seen, even on that very morning. Since I had arranged to do some kayaking that afternoon with Chuck Gangas and Ej, his friend from Costa Rica, I suggested that we try Campbell Bay. After several false alarms near the point involving the dozens of great egrets all over the place, we went around the point, observed an eagle perching near the heron nesting site, and decided to try to get around to the middle branch of the river - no easy task because of the low water level and this year's abundant proliferation of vegetation. As we were rounding our "final" patch, we saw a mud bar off the north side of Shad Island, with a big white blob in the middle of hundreds of gulls. Sure enough, it was the pelican. We watched it for over a half-hour before it took off westward. Chuck already has posted a link to some great still photos, and here's a link to a video clip I put together.
