Kyaks…always at hand.

These pelicans likely died of hunger rather than disease - a similar mass starvation event occurred off the coast here in 2022, and while brown pelican deaths this season seem to be slowing, it's likely this is not the end of their famine. There are theories about spring storms leading to poor visibility and depleted anchovy stock, but as far as I know, the causes are somewhat complex. When I last checked, there were still hundreds of birds checked into rehab facilities statewide, and hundreds had died while in rehab just this spring, which is not to speak of those birds who don't make it back to shore or are never found by rescuers.
