Most folks who have seen George the Pelican during his two-month stay at DeKorte Park get a long-distance look through a spotting scope.

One day in July, though, George took a breather and headed to the Kearny Marsh, where Ron Shields happened to be waiting in his kayak, camera at the ready. (Thanks, Ron!)

And yes, George was seen this morning, far out on the Saw Mill Creek mudflats. That’s Day 62 of his stay.
