Happy Release Day to Brown Pelican #25-465! This Brown Pelican, who was found near I-5 in the Tangent area, very far from the ocean, is headed back to the sea! In coordination with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, they determined the ideal release location for a pelican that had been found so far from where he should be. Brown Pelican #25-465 came in as a juvenile with emaciation and a severe feather mite infestation about 3 weeks ago. His condition was likely due to a starvation event fr

After receiving a call from our friends at Liberty Wildlife in Arizona, the SeaWorld Rescue team made the trek East to bring this wayward pelican back to the coast here in San Diego. Thanks to this collaboration, plus four months of treatment and several Epsom salt foot baths, this beautiful brown pelican has now been safely returned to its natural habitat. 💙 | SeaWorld San Diego
