Update: 51 Rescued, 12 Dead in two weeks
Since our last update two weeks ago, we have rescued 51 birds (50 juvenile brown pelicans and one snowy egret) and have also come upon 12 dead pelicans for a total of 63 birds. That’s 63 in just two weeks (from Nov 6 to Nov 19), all from the Skyway Fishing Pier location.
We have such a wonderful group of volunteers. Not only do we have our rescuer on the Pier and all of the people who help him, but we have a great group of transporters and rescuers who monitor two roosts by the Skyway Fishing Pier every single day. If for some reason, we have to miss a day that is when we usually find one or two dead. We also take our boat and jet ski at least weekly to scoop up any pelicans floating around tangled in line…
