Count Pelicans
at Cape Falcon
Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve
and Audubon Society of Portland are
looking for citizen scientists to help out with
a pelican survey this Saturday, Sept. 14.
Although the brown pelican was
removed from the Endangered Species
List in 2009, new threats are challenging
this bird’s survival. In recent years this
species has suffered huge nest failures on
its breeding grounds off southern and Baja
California, which are thought to be tied to
declines in their main food source, forage
fish (primarily anchovies).
This survey is conducted two days each
year from Baja California to Washington,
with a goal to help define the distribution
and abundance of brown pelicans and track
shifts in population structure to help better
protect this majestic bird.
Oregon Coast citizen scientists can
lend a hand counting pelicans at local
rocky island pelican roosting sites in the
Cape Falcon Marine Reserve just off
the community of Falcon Cove between
Manzanita and Cannon Beach.
No experience is necessary. Email capefal-
conmr@gmail.com for location and details.
