🚨 California Brown Pelicans need your help. A concerning number have recently been found distressed along our coast, and other seabirds, including cormorants, are affected as well. These photos were taken at Fletcher Cove Beach, where we helped rescue a distressed pelican yesterday.
If you see a pelican or other seabird that appears weak, grounded, injured, disoriented, or otherwise in distress, please contact a local wildlife responder.
