Inland Ridgway's Rail and Brown Pelicans

This morning while conducting a bird survey in Salt Creek (the drainage due east of Lower Otay Lake) I had a continuing Ridgway's Rail calling from a tiny marsh and also noted a group of 4 Brown Pelicans soaring over Otay Lake. I first noted the rail on May
3.

The park at the south end of the lake had a good number of the expected western migrants, but nothing out of the ordinary.
