The Brown and Peruvian Pelicans
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 8, 2015
The Peruvian Pelican is restricted to the cold water of the Humboldt Current along the coast of Peru and Chile. Some pesticides killed pelicans directly, while DDT contamination led to thin-shelled eggs that broke under the weight of the parents. Pelicans are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
