Scores of sick and starving pelicans have been found along the coast of California in recent weeks, with many dying as rescue centers become overwhelmed. Over 100 pelicans have been rescued so far that were anemic, dehydrated and weighing only half of their normal weight. The cause of the pelicans becoming sick is unclear but they appear to be starving despite abundant marine life off the coast. Wildlife experts have noted a similar event occurred in 2022. Rescue centers are focused on caring for the birds until they can recover and return to the wild.
