The Brown and Peruvian Pelicans
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 8, 2015
The Brown Pelican and the Peruvian Pelican are closely related and once were considered the same species. The plight of pelicans, raptors, and other species led to a ban on DDT in 1972 and a reduction in endrin use, allowing pelican numbers to rise. Pelicans are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
