Rare but you definitely see pelicans from time to time in natural areas of NY. Not a zoo escapee, but wild. Pelicans may wander widely from their usual habitat. You'd be surprised what shows up in NY as it is located in the Atlantic Flyway, a major migration route for birds of the Americas.

A Pelican in NY, that is odd, perhaps escaped from a Zoo?
