Help IBRRC save Brown Pelicans


© Jay Holcomb

Rather than spend $$$ on gasoline to chase those recently reported Western Sandpipers (which are likely gone by now), why not use the money instead to help some birds in a desperate situation?

"This spring, just in time, we completed our new 100-foot pelican aviary, servicing the Northern California region. In June we began receiving brown pelicans weak and thin and tangled in fishing line. By mid July the new aviary was full of injured and weak brown pelicans. As I write this letter a dozen more pelicans were just brought to our center in Cordelia and almost as many were brought to our San Pedro center located in Southern California."
