California Brown Pelicans at La Jolla Cove
During our recent coastal wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove, we were delighted to see California Brown Pelicans thriving. It is incredible to witness their recovery since the devastating pelican starvation crisis that began in April.
We're excited to announce that one of these majestic birds will be showcased in our soon to be revealed Wildlife Jewels® Collections exhibition! Stay tuned for more details, stunning photos, and information on how you can contribute to the protection of these precious birds!
