Although the Brown Pelican was removed from the Endangered Species List in 2009, new threats are challenging this bird’s survival. The goal of these surveys is to help us define the distribution and abundance of Brown Pelicans and track shifts in population structure to help us better protect this majestic bird.
If you would like to learn more about this amazing bird and are interested in helping with Portland Audubon’s community science effort to monitor Brown Pelicans, consider attending this informational presentation and training. The optional training will cover Brown Pelican life history, conservation challenges they face, and instructions on how to participate in our pelican survey program.
