Rare visitor seen at Shawnee

Bedford County is known as a tourist destination, and that has been the case for the past week at Shawnee Lake. Several people have reported seeing a white pelican at Shawnee Lake, and a reader submitted a photo of the bird. Local resident Laura Jackson, a member of the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology’s board who organizes the area’s annual bird count, said the sightings have been reported online and are drawing crowds of birding enthusiasts. She confirmed the rarity and said the last reported sighting of a white pelican in this area was in 2016 in Somerset County. The Audobon.org field guide lists the pelicans as migratory, spending colder months mainly in the coastal lowlands along the southern border of the United States and breeding inland during the warmer months.
