There have been two releases of captured, cleaned, relocated, and
rehabilitated BROWN PELICANS conducted in the Brunswick area in Glynn
County. These birds are victims of the ongoing BP oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Recent sighting and banding information, as well as the Brunswick area
release details for these birds can be read in the following posts. It is
requested that sightings of these birds be reported to the Georgia RBA
with as much information as possible (time, location, and banding
information), and that they also be reported according to any additional
instructions in the posts.
